A thrill like no other !!!


Shotover Jet, originally uploaded by dominic_tristram.

Yes, to add to the LIST OF THRILLS, that I have been amassing in life, here is another MEMORABLE one !!! This is a JETBOAT RIDE in new Zealand on the Shotover River.

A fact many may not know is that Jetboats were first designed in New Zealand by Sir William Hamilton to navigate the shallow rivers there. These jet boats do not have propellers under the boat. They eject the water through a jet proulsion system. Check the wikipedia link for info ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetboat

See the video to experience the thrill. Note the HAMILTON turn viz. the 360 degree turn by the boat !!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YASqQq9gJco

This is a THRILL not to be missed in life !!!
