"Watch out for the gnats!"

No, I'm not talking about the insects. I'm talking about those swarming jet skis jumping my boat's wake. Now I know it is a lot of fun to speed around on a PWC (personal watercraft) and jumping a wake is part of that fun. However, careless operation could lead to injury or possible death. Please be aware that neither boats or PWC's have brakes. If you are following too closely, you may end up crashing or getting run over. In my state, it is against the law to operate a boat or PWC in excess of idle speed within 50 feet of an anchored boat, a dock, or a person in the water. Also, it is illegal to cross the wake of another boat or PWC within 200 feet of the other boat. Now if you are abiding by the law, then my calling of names does not apply to you and therefore you should take no offense. However, "if the shoe fits", and you know who you are, please be more careful and aware of the boating laws. The law is there to protect you too. Enjoy your ride!
