Idiots on jet skis

What is it about people on jetskis? Went aboard Chuckle yesterday and opened the hatch to discover mayhem. Tins of paint, varnish, tools etc strewn all over the place. Thought at first a fishing boat had come too close and too quickly which would have been unusual as the few boats operating out of Berwick are very much aware that Chuckle is undergoing a refit and keep well away. In the middle of tidying everything back in place heard the roar of two engines and looking out witnessed two jet skis beginning to tightly circle each moored boat in turn at full throttle. As they did so each boat started to pitch and roll violently. Ours was next in line but on seeing me they veered off and roared out of the bay. What a couple of complete idiots - using a line of moored boats as a slalom course!
An hour later we had started up the engine, cast off from the mooring and were motoring up and down the estuary to recharge the battery. As we did so both jetskis reappeared and as we motored along one of them cut straight across our bow at full throttle only a matter of feet from us. Clueless, dangerous and moronic behaviour.
