I am surprised that no mention is made of this? if this had been on land with the guy driving his car in a similarly dangerous manner he would be prosecuted but it seems that it is acceptable because it happened at sea and it was only a surf skier... (or two). - Herman Sun, 04 Nov 2007 08:28:25 +0100 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/551/147/#pc_1674 Nice one Craig! Your quote: "Alan du Plessis is an extremely experienced skipper and is very highly regarded." "We would appeal to paddlers to be as visible as possible," he went on, "to take care near harbor entrances and to be aware how difficult it is to see surf skis, especially in low light conditions." Skipper is highly regarded and paddlers are prats! How about the skipper failed to keep a proper lookout and increased speed despite the restricted visibility (looking into the sun) and common knowledge that the harbour area is always frequented by recreational vessels of all types. - Johann van Blerck Fri, 02 Nov 2007 21:28:38 +0100
