I can't find the article to link to but there was an awful boating accident here on Saturday. At the local ski beach two boats were running parallel to each other, a 24' Cigarette and a 19' open bow 'something'. It was witnessed by dozens of people watching from the shore right in front of where it happened. They were both just up on plane and the driver of the open bow (tourist in a borrowed boat) misjudged the distance between them and suddenly to cut in front of the Cigarette. The Cigarette ran right over it and it's 4 occupants, capsizing it in the process. One man lost his leg and another younger girl is in serious condition with similar injuries. <br />Be safe my boating friends and pay extra attention to the 'other guy'!<br />Peace out.
