Great ride but at the end of the ride, as a boat two ahead of us was unloading, we were hit fast and hard by the boat behind us, pushing us forward and bumping us into the boat ahead of us. I strained my back and neck, sore for 3 days. I'm a medical professional so treated myself.

This happened to someone in our group. He had his head turned to the side, and when the boat behind us ran into us, he strained his neck. Nothing serious, but he was sore for a few days. Those with back or neck conditions should be alert and ready at the end of the ride. This happened in early June. -- Submitted by El_Scotto on 7/13/2005
