Yowzer...looks like Jim Cantore (Joe Groove) met the Perfect Storm.

Fountains are famous for nose diving. But helps to have a competent captain at the helm.

Joe doesn't qualify. See ya at the ER :thumbdown:

And the update...http://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-for ... epost.html

Estimated speed in the 60s...estimated brain power of the captain...fits on my pinky fingernail...

I don't have the patience for THT, so I missed that.   :oops:   "The rest of the story" as Paul Harvey might have said.   :thumleft:   But, uh, I don't think there are rogue waves on a lake.   :evil:

Scott, hate to say it, but I've probably watched that vid 50 times!  I mean, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be one of the "participants", but once you know that all suffered, at the most, minor injuries (although the follow up does say the captain suffered a compression of the C-7 vertebrate)...it is damn funny!!

As my Dad (81 years, sharp as a tack) would say
"That asshat dont know :*: when it comes to..."
whatever they are doing wrong at the time.

Just thought I would share his opinion
