[Paddlewise] jetski incident

Wes Boyd's report of harassment by jetski is - no pun intended - a chilling 
account. These people were not just playing a prank. Given the length of 
time they harassed  the kayakers it seems that they *intended* to do harm. 
Perhaps it was their way of trying to drive kayakers from "their" waters. 
Perhaps they are just so selfish and so stupid they didn't realize the 
danger they were creating - but that's really hard for me to believe. I do 
hope that Wes and others start a civil suit for reckless endangerment, and 
the sooner the better. Not suing just potentiates and encourages this sort 
of behavior. These jetskiers will do this again. Other jetskiers may or may 
not behave in this same way, but the publicity surrounding even an 
attempted suit may discourage some of this life-endangering behavior.
