Re: hull extension in progress with pics
hi all......im going to post this here so it doesnt get lost....
mrs oops and i finally got to get the boat on the water by our selves......the boat is running good !
however......this is what happened....
tonight mrs oops and i had to tow a sea doo back from the lake...
it was involved in a collision.
an 18 year old male and his 11 year old sister were on a jet ski....the supercharged kind....
they left her body laying on the dock because the ambulance doesnt deal with that......the coroners do.
mrs oops and i were floating and enjoying the sunset.....taking pictures ...relaxing.......when we heard a collision on the water.
i fired up the motor and drove to the sound.......we were 700 yards away.......when we got on the scene......someone was in the bow of a bow rider boat....jumping on someones chest.....yelling "does someone know cpr".....and "call 911" i tried to pull beside the boat ....but the driver hit the throttle and took off to shore.
pulling along side......i shut the motor of a badily damaged jet ski......( i have seen damage....but this boat was wiped out bad !!!)
there were two jet skis floating in the water......one wiped...one not.....lots of flotation foam was on the water....lots of debris.....a sandal, and an empty life jacket.
i jumped in the water.....and collected the debris.......then towed one of the jet skis back to the dock......another boat that was there, towed the other.
when i got to the dock......the police and ambulance were there......the police wanted to take my statment......and took my girls camera .......she videoed the rescue.
the body of an 11 year old baby girl was lying on the dock.....with her parents wailing laying beside her.
i really dont know what to think right now.....i didnt see it......but i am under the impression that it was the driver of the jet ski that was at fault.....the brother.
.......parents....please ....please.......make sure your kids are driving responsibly....,jet skis.....boats....cars.....
a family will be one less tonight.
