The Skiff

Even the pro's can do stupid stuff.

In September, 05, during a routine skiff trip just a few hundred feet from the ramp to the end of the dock, Captain Jeff managed to fall out of the skiff, while not wearing a leash (therefore, the motor was still running). If that wasn't stupid enough, he attempted to climb back in when the skiff swung around and, as you can imagine, it ran him over.

Capt Jeff says: Always wear your cut-off switch lanyard!

Mate Mark says: Never try to swim back into a running boat!
