I presume the PWC engine didn't falter, else we'de see another series of pictures.
(As a friend says ... pictures of Darwin Award recipients.)
I think it's fun to ride ski-do's, ...
can you imagine what it would feel like if you were riding towards a behemoth and the engine quit cold?

Funny, that looks just like what we see in the E-W ship channel traffic in SF Bay, only with a lot more sailboats.

I try to never scare the container ship or tanker pilots by being stupid.

Hey, ever seen a fully loaded container ship make a hard turn? They lean waaaaaaay over. The speed that they are moving will really fool you. Get out of their way!!!

The traffic that worries me most are the tows. With a tug pulling, those suckers must be doing 15 kts with 200 feet of cable deployed.

Get this, last year one night on the Bay a 500 foot floating drydock lost its dock ties and drifted from the west shore to Yerba Buena Island. Took them a week to pull it off and back to its location. Howja like to be a 800ft tanker pilot going to anchorage and see that in your headlights???

Here on Long Island Sound, the tows are more like 200+ YARDS. At night, if you don't know your signal lights, that can be lethal!

Here in the St. Mary's River we deal with 1000' ore boats every day.
about every 30 minutes or so a ship passes within 100 yds of my dock.
they push tons of water ahead of them and suck tons of water out as they pass, then all that water rushes back taking out docks, boats,
poodles.....We sail around them, talk to them on the radio.."I'm going to pass to your port captain, or, I'm clear of your sailing line. the Photo above shows a very large ship a good half mile away,
the PWC looks endangered by the telephoto effect.
