    Lots of fun to run white water in the jet boats, and I get a kick out of taking new people through stuff like that just to see the terror in their eyes... I've got a twisted sense of humor.
    It looks a lot like the Rogue here in Oregon. GOT to be able to read the river, though,
    to make that kind of approach into the rapids. Only an idiot will go up the whitewater.
    Rocks abound there and the cavitation from the whitewater will flip most small boats.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Pretty cool to see him so excited about it, I'm pretty stoked about it myself. A 19 year old with a big boy boat is a pretty good step for him - because as we all know, he who dies with the most toys wins, right?
    Awesome! Now all he needs to add is a suitable female companion.

    Yeah, playing in the whitewater is fun but you have to be safe about it.... one extra-long cavitation in the middle of a trough and the current will take over and eat that boat in short order. Another thing about cavitating is how my engine will spike from 3400 to about 6,000 - that's not good on anything, beyond the loss of thrust & steering.
