Pretty sure a similar thing happened not far offshore from the godly a few years back and I think they left it till it run outta fuel lol. Must have been a long day

Ummm... if it was my boat - what the big fella did in the end. If I was on the other side of the camera... laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.

I was faced with the same problem at corroborrie near darwin years a go, we came around a corner and here was these 2 young girls in a boat out of control doing circles.One driving the boat slipped off the seat but was still hanging onto the throtle leaver, we had to get close to notice this and with the noise of the motor they couldnt hear us yelling out, but eventually she heard and let go, then was able to scramble back up and put it out of gear.They would of been crock bait if they went in the water.

Nice jump.....unfortunately the face plant may have loosened the front teeth

When I was about 12 I was hooning around in the south arm of the Coomera in a little tinny and I hit a wake sideways and was thrown out of the boat. Luckly the motor was just idling as it circled and came straight back to me. It was a little boat and I was able to reach up and grab the nose of the boat and pull myself in. A good lesson learnt by me but It could have gone a lot worse.

haha keeping the camera still while you laugh is quite a skill.
