Well you are not safe here in Maine either. Last summer there was an event
that did not make a lot of news but the sad story was athat an other one of
these idiots managed to vault himself and his jetski in to a sail boat on
Casco Bay and amputated the leg of the owner who was on deck stowing a sail.
I say cary a flare gun and aim for his head if they get any were near you.
