Idiots on jetskis Southampton water
We came through Calshot this afternoon cruising at 20 knots when a blue metallic jetski came across flashing across our bows 50 feet away the turned and headed back ..... the stopped dead right in front of us.
He was completely unaware our us. We shut down and jammed the boat astern only just managing to stop without hitting him after shouting at the idiot he trotted up and sped away.
How close he came to being killed he may never know but I’m convinced our fast actions saved his life
Then coming up past the Hamble some other jetski passed close beside us to catch another boats wash and turned in front of us again
Coming up the Itchen a red jetski with a man and very small child was blitzing close to all moored boats well over the 6knot limit
What’s wrong with these people
