It’s fun to watch the high-speed antics of the fastest boats on water. My brother Jerry and my nephew Greg are multiple record holders for speed and race victories in the sport of hydroplane racing. You really ought to stop by their Facebook page and have a look at their championship performances. Nothing short of mind boggling to those of us who’ve only crossed the waters at ferryboat speeds, or maybe ski-boat or jet ski speeds, any of which would trail a good hot hydro by 100 mph or more.
Jerry and son have a collection of trophies that overflow their fireplace mantels, bookshelves and most every other piece of furniture they can put something on. Race victories, world speed records, you name it. They’ve been there done that.
I guess I’m a pretty proud brother and uncle.
