You've got your toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the world, a cold beer in your hand (as Zac Brown puts it in his catchy summertime hit) when" bam! It's ruined by the arrival of a swarm of jet skis. Looking like giant hornets, they carve across the bay, the whine of their engines broken only by the constant whump whump of their hulls crashing through the waves. You sit and pray for silence - and a hidden reef. Bloody jet skis!
