Odd sight on the Potomac…
It’s a bit odd to see Jet skis this far up on the Potomac. Sarah and Robert were on the C&O canal while I was paddleing Little Falls. It seemed really loud to me when I got the bottom of the rapid (the last before the Atlantic Ocean).

I’ve been buzzed by helicopters and by the Park Service rescue team in their motorized raft, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a jet ski try to get up the rapid before.

He was not sucessful, and note the lack of helmet — I’ve hit rocks around there and it was low tide when this guy flipped over. (My roll is better than his.)

He gave up and went away eventually.

More photos (including a couple fresh ones of Robert) are here.
