we will add, morons ( with more money than brains) driving at 30 knots in the fog to the list, i almost got ran over twice Saturday on my way out of the river ( yes i have Radar) I drive just fast enough to keep the GPs from swinging wildly while I watch the radar and scan in front of me.. I had 2 different boats blow by me ( I was doing 12 Knots) one came across my bow less than 25' away hammer down ACCROSS THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER ( me altering my course to avoid collision, with out me seeing him on radar it probably would have been a direct hit) he barely missed the tip of the jetty, the other overtook me and passed less than 10' away... that was enough for me to turn around and go home... this was at 5:30 AM not sure if either of those knuckleheads had radar or not.. still way to fast for the conditions.

A good run is better than a bad stand!

There was a collision at the dump in the fog this weekend. A couple of big sporties collided. Luckily no one was killed. |

Guess Ray were the smart Guys and stayed home rather than run in the Fog  |
