...this turn real tightly, like put your starboard oars over into forbidden water. But careful, if the boat goes outside a buoy, bang, that's a ten-second penalty. And you bet they watch you. Oh yeah, when you make the corner, look out--there's often a brisk wind and strong current that sends a couple boats onto the rocks every year...
