Here's the video.  (The Barge way off in the distance had run aground and Red wanted to check it out...of course we'd like to go with...)

Yep, thanks Red for taking lots of people for a ride in the Scimitar, me included!  Nothing but big grins all around... I'm certain that's the fastest I'll ever go on the water (wasn't it just over 70?).   For a few seconds I was wondering where my seatbelt was to make sure I didn't get extracted out the back...  ;D

That...or discovering that if you want to break the sound barrier in a Scimitar...you're going to need to reinforce your windshield...   :D

I got a swift ride in both of Bob's boats ... I just about got a swim along with the white boat.  When he laid into the throttle at about 40 mph I about rolled up on over the engine cover! I have no idea how fast he ran but I was very sure I would have been left in the dust like an empty bud can!
