Awesome ride - just not a lot of stopping power!

Yeah, they're pretty cool.

The red one seats 13 passengers and the yellow one seats 21. It was a good trip.

We stopped on the mudflats to have a snack and some drinks while most of us took pictures of the sun setting over the mudflats (you get a nice rippled effect in the reflection - enhanced when you put a strong coloured filter over the lens) and then we DID race back to the hover base.

Along the way they showed us some of the 'tricks' these things can do. One of the younger guys asked them to do some 360's (donuts) and they obliged - on water and on land.

That trip was a buzz.
