I’m all about differing to Darwin, but I can’t see any circumstance where wearing a life vest would be restrictive or a nuance on the water. Especially with modern vests… and that whole 90% of all water deaths are due to a lack of a vest thing.

lol, it’s all out war with the kayaks right now. They even put up a sign _with a stand up jet ski on it_ at Gallagher saying the whole outer harbor / break wall was 10mph.

> Haha @**[1QIKZ](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=30323)** did you see the two idiots at a FULL STOP at the end of the ramp? It was either I slam on the brakes and come to a complete stop behind them or I merge into traffic like they were supposed to. Thanks for not crashing into me 🙂
Am I the only one who sees the yield sign at the end of the Niagara st ramp? It’s the only entrance like that around here so I can see how it could be missed.
There is not a merge lane long enough to reliably merge. This coupled with oblivious people on 190 that refuse to even sort of help leads to having to come to a dead stop every once in a while.
People die there… [http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/music-community-mourns-death-of-one-of-its-leaders-20150525](http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/music-community-mourns-death-of-one-of-its-leaders-20150525)
The worst is after some a-hole prevents a merge and forces you to stop in rush hour traffic other a-holes fly by you from behind which makes it 10x more dangerous than it already is.
There should be a “no merge area” or similar sign to make it more clear but this is a really bad design / dangerous spot.

There is just that, people don’t read it though.

Wait, what?! How new is this law?? I was stopped a few months back with 4 riders, not wearing PFD’s, in my 14’ boat by Erie Sheriff and they made no mention of this. Either way, fuck NY.

NOVEMBER TO MAY… Aka, late fall to early spring when the water temps are really cold. You were stopped in summer. 🙂

Bringing the new boat up Welland Canal, but don’t think we can wrap things up by then. Probably the weekend after this.

Despite some heat and humidity, tonight was a good night to haul ass on the water.
Sanded and cleaned the hull below the water line last week
Water to myself
Best from tonight, 69 mph

I have a lot of GoPro footage to sort through from this summer.
