Yea they act like little motes and just shoot all the water into your face, made the mistake of going fast through one without a helmet, got blinded, hit a giant metal can, quad flipped over, moved my leg just in time so it didnt run me over... not good

i am also big into sailing. i have a couple of boats a small catamaran (nacra 5.2) and larger monohull (Kirie Elite 29CB).

i still play competitive Volleyball 2 days a week. i have not had a chance to do any outdoor tournaments this year. my weekends have been full this year.

G~
like you geoff iam i to riding only motorcycles as much as as i can (wife) will let me. a few of the guys i ride with were talking about taking a ride to what they call the four corners. not sure what that means but i know i heard new mexico and south dakota they plan on doing this ride in a two week span dont think the wife will let me go. but other then my wife and my tank these are my babies. and an even more expensive hobby.
