Hi PK,

I can't beat that story.

Know how you feel though it is so hard not to show off on an F16 especialy oneup. Everybody looks at you like your a single handed superman.

There is a narrow strait between where I live and an island which I sometimes choose to sail through. Nothing to do with the proximity of jetty's full of potential spectators or many other craft close by of course, it also has a 5kt. speed limit which I don't think applies to F16's? but does to the speedboats I pass. This seems to realy annoy them especialy when I trapeze over the hull of the ones with the realy big noisy motors, which means they don't hear me coming. One got upset a while ago and flattened throttle to race me causing his hat to blow off which he then went back for, I just kept going enjoying my sailing not intending to upset anybody, but it gave a friend on a keelboat an opportunity to heckle him as he picked up his soggy hat.

People have seen me on the beach afterwards and said "your that guy that was showing off hooning around yesterday". But I keep trying to tell them it's just what the F16's do they can't travel slow or with both hulls in the water.

Regards Gary.
