...not that we didnt have a fantastic weekend otherwise but this was scary.
Sunday we wanted to see if there was a shortcut through the grassy marsh area
(to avoid a huge no wake zone) so I asked a guy on a waverunner to show us. He just
said "follow me". So we were going pretty fast zig zagging through the tight waterway
it was REALLY fun but I was being cautious because of the kids on the back and so I
fell behind a little. Next thing I know I come up to a turn that is so sharp it looks like a
total dead end. I let off the throttle and realize I was going to make "that" SeaDoo
mistake and go straight into a mud bank with the handlebars turned all the way doing
nothing. So at the last moment I gunned it in an attempt to spin the back around....to
late. The first impact careened me towards the right direction then still with no control
the second impact actually rode up the mud bank and sort of rail slidding like on
a skateboard for a second and then slamming back down into the water essentially
landing the rail slide. I turned around to ask the kids if they were OK and my daughter
(10) says, "Sam fell off (8).
Essentially he was fine, he just bit his lip somehow and was more mad at me because it
looked like I was leaving him there he said. Plus the bottom wasnt real comfortable on
the feet (Squish).
So dude comes back after he realized something was wrong and says, "Yea this is a bad
turn right here".....Thanks for the warning.
My son was pretty shaken up but after a big hug he was OK and the 3 of us joked
about it on the way home in the car.
