when someone goes

"yes yes yes yes yes yes yes pleeeeeeease :)"

or similarly frantic when offered a go on a mechanical form of
locomotion.... then there must be summat wrong. ;)

but they are fun lil toys, just watch your altitude in the water, if you
lose your vertical referance you can easily find yourself heading for the
bottom at a great rate of knots while thinking your still on the level.
listen to your ears and don't go up and down fast enough they ache.

With the Apollo, it's possible to strap a D-timer to the front
handle and this gives you a useful reference. The other thing you have
to watch out for at Stoney is prop wash - it's very easy to stir up
a huge cloud of shite if you get too close to the walls.

Hmm, what was the date again? My scooter could do with a dust-off.
