also close call

Can also happen during the day. Was fishing in a river just drifting downstream and saw a boat coming upstream. Not really paying attention cause of course he see's me. Anyhow, putting my stuff down to move to another location, my buddy in the back of the boat says " is this guy gonna turn". I turn to look and see this 14' or so boat heading directly for middle of my boat, maybe a 75 ft away going full throttle, 2 guys sitting in the bow of the boat facing back so guy driving the tiller can't see ahead of him. It was only seconds, your thinking, of course he's gonna turn, NOT TURNING!! My buddy yells "HEY" and the guys in the front of the boat turns and yells "HOLY S#@T, guy driving thankfully turned the right direction and missed the stern of my boat by 3-5 ft sending waves over my gunnel. He came back, apologized and said he will never let 2 guys sit in bow of boat again. That's great, cause there could have been some serious injuries or death. You Just never Know!!
