This why folks have a natural tendency to NOT want to share the BAD stuff that happens in their lives for fear of some DORK ridiculing them.

Aww well there's always some sanctimonious jerks out there who just always do things the right way and never get into a pickle because they know better.

Guys, I can tell you that there was no alchool or drugs involved, although I am an adrenaline junkie and I agree it wasn't the smartest thing I have ever done. The bill came out to $4800.00 for search and rescue and yes tax payers picked it up. I do pay about 5K in income tax every couple months and 4K in taxes to the MD every year, not counting the taxes I pay on the copious amounts of fuel I burn and alchool I do consume on occasion I definately don't feel guilty on using this search and rescue service. I think I pay dues to society quite well. Sorry I hurt your feelings Jack, I will try to consider you next time I do something stupid. I love this country for the fact that we can all have an opinion and we can all say it OUT LOUD.

All I can say, is I wish I had beed invited on that trip, I'd have gone in a heartbeat, you gotta go to thew edge every once in a while to find out where the edge is, and yes good call Dano

I would say we found the edge that weekend, when the boat doesn't make it back to the trailler you have found the edge. Like i said before I'd do it again, I'd just make sure we have a better pump and ez-clean to keep the water flowing.

Thanks for relating your experience. I am new to the ranks and reading about situations such as the one you were involved in adds to my limited knowledge of boats and wild water.

A guy can not tell another man what to do, or not to do. Jack is able to voice his opinion, just like every other man, its a free Country. If Jack was smart he would voice his opinions to himself, his wife, or to a buddy. You can not tell an Alberta man what to do or what not to do, unless you're asking for trouble. Only a foolish man or boy would do that.
I can not speak for all guy's on this Forum, jet boating for some men is what defines them. I'm sure nothing gives some of them more pleasure, or thrills (right Hooli). Telling him he is to dangerous or takes to many chances is like putting him in a prision. We all enjoy our freedom, governments already have enough rules out there telling use you can't do that or you can't go there.
Now when an individual tells you, you can't do this or that, they have no right and should watch their tongue. I would never tell a Jet Boater what to do. If an individual wants to take the risk, who is going to hold him back, who is going to stick this nose into his business, not me.
I don't want to say anything bad about Jack, I'm not out here to chastice him, just here to hold up our freedoms as jet boaters.

I just wanted to share the story with everyone and I'm sure glad I managed to piss someone off doing it, this way i'm sure to be remembered.

So who did not have a boat at the end of that day.

Boat came back, although not as it left the trailer. But nothing like a good scrubbing and a few thousand wouldn't fix. It all buffs off in the end, it's an aluminum boat.
