Our adrenaline day was not just taken
up with a skydive, Oh no. We also felt it appropriate to blitz around
on 100kmph jetboat up the shotover river throwing in 360 spins as we
went. Got this done in the morning as a little warm up to get the
blood pumping before the dive. The boats can run in just 10cm’s of
water and have a solid 7mm aluminum plate on the bottom to skim over
the water as it is powered by two v8 jet engines. The driver was
nothing short of a nutcase. Getting as close as possible to anything
that would wipe the boat out without actually hitting it.
Sat behind the driver to get a view of
what he sees, probably just as well because when we got off Nay and
Jess told me the guy had been steering the boat with his knees and
texting at the same time!!! Nothing quite like living on the bloody
edge!
