Popular Post chub Posted Monday at 05:30 AM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 05:30 AM Parachute Boat.mp4 Karon Beach, January 2024. A parasail boat speeds through the swimming zone close to the beach. No segregation of speedboats and swimmers. Only one boat driver has to look above and behind at the parachute, and below and in front for the swimmers. An accident waiting to happen. 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakuna Matata Posted Monday at 06:06 AM Share Posted Monday at 06:06 AM (edited) Oh my God, those speedboat propellers should be banned! What about jet stream engines? Are they more safe? https://www.boatdesign.net/threads/raising-speed-efficiency-in-jet-boats.48419/ Edited Monday at 06:10 AM by Hakuna Matata 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctkong Posted Monday at 11:59 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:59 AM If it is true that she is swimming outside the swimming zone, it show the mentality of Russians being unable to toe the line and always pushing the limits .A trait no different from the mainland Chinese. Boorish behavior aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
