Perhaps it’s symptomatic of a midlife crisis, but I bought a jetski a few weeks ago to serve as my “water taxi”. I tried a small jon boat awhile back which didn’t work out too well – couldn’t get the hang of it at all, but I love this jetski. First of all I had to get comfortable just riding on it, but now I am learning to manoeuver it on and off the jetport and generally take care of it. Today I learned another (expensive) lesson courtesy of the SCDNR – lifejackets are not optional accessories. Anyway, it was a really pretty evening and the jetski served it’s purpose well.
