steering.Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device

the jetski v. 37/40 accident Sad too see it!Still cannot understand how anyone
on a jet ski, barring a blackout or complete inebriation, could not see a 40 ft
sailboat in their path. Perhaps the driver realized too late that he/she could
not control the ski without it moving and/or was moving much faster than he/she
should have been under the conditions.Charlie NelsonSent from AOL Mobile

Hello all, As
an update, please see the photo of the damage to our boat.Boat Damage from
Jetski.jpgBoat Damage from Jetski.jpgShared with DropboxYou might
not see much at first but look at the twist in the solar panels. The
missing support for the dinghy davit on the port side. The dinghy davit
on the port side has been twisted and is destroyed, and the 1 1/4"
stainless tube has been bent more than 90 degrees at the foot. The
dinghy has a permanent dent and a damaged seam in the bottom. There is a
damaged hydraulic backstay adjuster.Realistically, had the
dinghy not been there, the jetski would have landed in the cockpit and I
would likely not be hear typing this. The surveyor is estimating the damage
between $15,000 - $20,000. Bruce Whitmore(847) 404-5092
