    Don't make fun of Darwin!

    Without Darwin award candidates we'd have no organ donors!

    Last week on T&T it was one less Sea Ray (autopilot into a mud bank), this
    week one less jet skier, what will next week bring? Sport Fish ICW delivery
    skippers at a cool-aid party?

    On my boat, a jet skier would have to pass within 15' of the bow to catch
    the catenary at around 5 feet off the water. It does raise the question of
    piano wire as anchor chain replacement though...

                                              Regards....
