Tell us something we don’t know.

Explain?

Don't you remember what the main character did to the lemon tree every day? And he asked the neighbor kid to take care of it for him while he went to America?

Too funny when the kids parent saw him out there.

Great movie. I put it right up there towards the top of my favorites list.

Based on a true story, too.

The Water Speed record is of interest to me as I love fast boats. Warby set the 317.59 MPH record in 1978. Thats freaken 44 years ago!

Here's a YouTube video. Others have died trying.

Back wen big wheel tracdtors began to take over from the crawlers, there was one brand that leveled like a combine. It was rather odd seeing work these hills in the Palouse (E. Wa.)

Knudson tractor?

Something you may not know... "Cabot's Cove, Maine" was not a town in Maine!

I've gone 120 miles per hour in a boat. Less then a 1/3 rd, of what Warby did. And it is all about faith after that, a human can't react to any wave or any obstruction. A human can't react fast enough.
I think this can be brought back to the USA, if we designed escape systems in to the boats, like military aircraft. If the boat starts getting unstable, the driver is safely ejected, whether they like it or not, a computer will decide that in a millisecond.

Does his ejection seat include a tow rope to the boat and a parachute (or is it called a parasail?) Jon

It would solve the problem of water speed records cause there would not be such instantaneous stoppage. Its not the speed that kills you.
