Really? I have an acquaintance that runs fishing charters. I’m not even close to being able to afford it.

Yeah, it’s expensive. The guy is a ski bum. Spends 4 or 5 months in Canada skiing, charters the boat in the summer. Does some computer consulting to earn beer money.

We had a jet boat for a short time while in California. Used to take it to the Colorado River and Lake Havasu to water ski. Those places serve as solid testaments to the fact that alcohol and fast boats don't mix. Other than the 'Girls Gone Wild' benefit to being there, the rest was nothing more than trying not to get killed by some out of control drunk hurtling two tons of fiberglass at 60 mph over the water.

Sailing proved to be much more relaxing, enjoyable and a lot less costly.
