I had never been to the "ski course" at Henderson so one day decided to check it out.......since it was my first time to be in those narrow canals I was idling with my big motor slowly and watching the depth finder every now & then....I had just entered an "S" curve and a young guy in a big bass boat coming from the opposite direction came flying at me wide open.....all I remember is the fright on his face as he was fighting the steering wheel.....as I was going very slow, all I could do was steer right into the hydrilla and speed up......I kept waiting on the contact but somehow we missed each other.....the other guy never checked up....I decided I didn't need to go to the "ski course" after all........I did have my life jacket on....with the kill switch attached........
