| We started out on a
traditional "Dhow' boat, towing a ski boat and a couple of jet-skis.
The Vorpal Bunny had to make sure they were back there.. (252kb)

He then wanted to
drive the boat, so he took a turn at the wheel... (183kb) |
As soon as we stopped and got
safety buoys deployed, Peter wanted to be first to jet-ski. (183kb) |

We had to jet-ski well out
beyond the safety buoys. (166kb) |
