Default Boating professionalism and modern day social media

Has anyone seen the river boat fiasco video from southern Alberta on FB? It’s on “Meanwhile in Alberta’s” page. I am in no way passing judgment but it’s worth the watch ( wish I could share the video here). And apparently you can charter with these guys if your into adventure lol. Some one post the video if they can figure it out please.

Default Guide boat

I saw the video, and of course realizing that there are two sides to the story and who knows if the video is the complete story... but from what I saw, the operator of the jet boat ( a professional fishing guide) in my opinion was driving dangerously and endangering the lives of the people in the anchored boat. Is river rage a thing ?

Yup totally unacceptable. Doesn't matter if there is more to the story or not, could have capsized that boat and put the guys in danger.

Thanks RavYak, I agree, even in the heat if the moment you can’t erase your actions. By the way, the boat is for sale lol.

saw that, what a nozzle that guy is. Seeing the phone number on the truck made me chuckle, the comments are funny.
