For those of you keeping score at home, my preseason picks for the World Series were in fact Anaheim over Houston. Up until a week ago it wasn’t looking the least bit likely, now it’s at least possible (I will admit maybe not probable). But I do...

Jet Ski - try out the thrill of jet skiing
Jet Ski - try out the thrill of jet skiing The idea of sitting
(or standing) on a craft that is designed to provide the rider
with the thrill and fun of riding a snowmobile, only on the open
water, is either: a) nerve-wracking, b) old hat, or c) something
that "I've got to try before I die!"
We're talking jet skiing, folks, and for those who already know,
the thrill that comes with cruising on the water's surface at
speeds that can exceed 50 MPH (80 km/h) is second to none. For
those who have yet to discover this aquatic nirvana, you're only
a rental at your local beach away from getting in on the
action.
Jet skis are, quite simply, not skis at all but rather
watercraft that operate on a skiing premise. That is, they skip
along the water's surface, much like snow skis would do on the
slopes. They are driven by gas-powered engines, some as strong
as 150 horsepower.
Some jet skis enable the driver to sit down, and with a person
riding 'shotgun'. Other units are meant to be operated by the
driver in a standing-only position. In either instance, you are
in command of a powerful watercraft that will have you the envy
of beachcombers and boaters alike.
Power and fun aside, these aren't toys. Anything that provides
the thrill and excitement that jet skis do must be operated with
training and
attention to your surroundings. Knowing at which
speed to safely operate the craft, versus how many other small
crafts are on the water, who might be water skiing, what natural
and man-made obstructions may exist, etc., is not only important
but could ultimately save you from significant injury or even
death. Proper safety equipment, such as life jackets and
helmets, are also required, and rules to this end vary depending
on where you are using your jet ski, so make sure you know the
local law before going out on the water. It is estimated that
operator error is responsible for about 95 percent of all
jet-ski accidents.
If all safety regulations and rules and items of common sense
are adhered to, and if speed and open water and personal
watercraft are three things that go together well in your mind's
eye, look no further than jet skiing to provide you with the
time of your life the next time you find yourself at the lake
