        Jerry I can almost relate the same story. I used to have a small 
sailboat that I would sail here on the Columbia River in Portland, Or.  
before I switched to a canoe and kayak. I remember sailing along peacefully 
and quietly when I looked on the horizon and saw and HEARD two jetskis. Well, 
they spotted me and zoomed out to me and proceeded to run circles around me 
Doing assorted tricks and whatnot, as If I cared. What  a nuisance! Nothing 
like ruining a peaceful quiet sail. As far as I'm concerned They're nothing 
but motorcycles on the water. Noisy, Loud, Obnoxious.( I have nothing against 
motorcycles on land, mind you-except the real loud ones)                      
    
                                                                  Varoom!
