Jet skis, revenge is sweet!

[iangrant]

Motoring into the entrance of Rodney bay Marina we were following a jet skier that had been buzzing us for the last half hour in the bay, guess what - just in front of our bow he broke down, couldn't stop in time (very stiff throttle trying to get in reverse) we ran him over, lots of choking and spluttering as he surfaced.

Could happen anywhere so keep the faith gents!

Was there lots of blood as well whilst the props on your boat removed his legs?

 

[iangrant]

No. she was in neutral, it was enough fun to see him swimming away!

Pity you didn't poke him down with a boathook - still, there's always next time!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

One thing the Government have right in the BVI, I think the bl###y things are banned from even being imported. Well done, personally I,m glad he was not hurt though. Bill.

ian,
having followed your legendary battles with the Ferry service, does this mean you have switched your focus to smaller, more winnable battles? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[iangrant]

Ah thereby lies a tale! I've now practiced on the smaller chaps and moving back up to the ferry battles.

Did you get his insurance details for any damage to your boat?

 

[iangrant]

thankfully no damage - it was just enough speed to nudge him off

what goes around, comes around

um, is this at all based on fact, or just another harmless iangrantish bar story? I hope the latter.

Re: what goes around, comes around

nope this one entirely true - sadly no pic though - thought that may be rubbing salt into the wound!
Nice to see you survived the Tome weather routing!
