Oh far out, it just keeps getting better!!!

And we wonder why boating isn't a more popular past time, with stories like this, who'd want to be part of it. Noone knows if they're safe on the water, even if they think they know the rules and try to abide by them.

We've had a similar incident on our local bay last weekend. On dusk, it appears as though a small fast power boat ran into a larger slow cruiser resulting in 4? dead. The two debates at the moment are about the age of the skipper of the cruiser and licensing procedures. He was 16, licensed and not under the influence of alcohol, and the only person of 17? on the two boats not injured in the incident. The general opinion is that licensing in our region is a joke that any fool can obtain, you don't even need to know how to tie your boat to a pontoon!
