 IS FOURTEEN ENOUGH ?

 As I sat on my balcony today, I noticed a very streamline boat heading my way.

 I grabbed my camera expecting this boat to hit the throttle and "fly" thru the water with the greatest

of ease.

    BOAT       

 

  As it got closer I could see  fourteen people of college age on board.

 I don't know the circumstances why so many people on board, did a boat break down and another

one rescue them ? (that is water courtesy )

 It certainly was going very slow past me, due to the weight of the load.

 Some times we just don't know "the circumstances."

I have to say.....isn't that what college is all about....doing things that you shouldn't be doing....Not excusing it....just explaining it.

Looks like a party to me... We're only young and dumb once. Hopefully we live to tell the tale.

Probably headed for Lake Boca to get an early start on the weekend. 

Dangerous situation, not one to make light of. 

But, since There was nothing on the news, they must have made it back safely.

Hi Irene,

Looks like they are having a good time and as long as the driver is safe and responsible, it is probably OK.

I remember recently seeing a group of 10 or 12 young adults; the entire wedding party stopped to take a picture on a rickety bridge but the bridge collapsed due to the weight and they all fell in the water. It was kind of funny but the brides dress was wet. The wedding proceeded. This picture reminded me of that event.

That's a nice looking boat Irene, a bit overloaded though.   I guess we all did dumb things when we were that age.

Good morning Roger, it was standing room only. I suspect there was an unusual circumstance.

 The boat was moving very slowly thru the water , due in part to the weight.

 It ws also low tide. I watched until they were out of sight, always ready to call Marine Patrol

if I thought they were in danger.

Have a fabulous weekend.

Hi Larry and Sheila, I don't know the situation. They were not a "rowdy" group of people.

I suspect a boat may have broken down and they were taking the passengers some where.

 The police do patrol the intracoastal .

 

 Have a great weekend.

Good morning Charles, we sometimes "assume" things. Are we right in our assumptions?

Sometimes yes and sometimes no.

 Have a great weekend.

Hi Larry, college years are the fun times of our lives and what better place to go to

college than a city on the ocean and intracoastal waterway in Boca Raton, Florida

Have a profitable weekend.

Hi John, I did notice some" adult beverages " by some of the people. I expect it may

have been more fun if they could have gone faster in the boat, they  were barely moving.

 But they were still "cool"

  Have a fabulous, profitable weekend.

Thanks for stopping by Erv. I also did not hear anything on the news. Let's hope if they were

going to Lake Boca some of them disembarked to party some where else or put off on the sandbar.

Have a great Boca weekend.

Thanks for stopping by Kristin, it was overloaded and now as adults we know that.

I have two teenage grandsons and I know quite well some of their "stunts".

If any children are reading this always remember  SAFETY FIRST, SAFETY FIRST, SAFETY FIRST

 Have a fabulous weekend Kristin

Hi Jim, I guess some of us did dumb things when we were younger. The question is :

WOULD WE DO IT NOW? With age comes wisdom, we now know that.

 It was low tide (see upper right of picture ,you can see the seawall and the rocks are showing.)

They were quite close to the seawall.

 At lowtide the intracoastal at that point may only be 5 feet maximum or even less.

 Have a marvelous weekend.

Irene, I think fourteen is a bit much, however, I wouldn't want to leave the last three behind if you'll pardon my pun.
