In Africa Boat making is an art that has been around Africa for years. Though these boats are powered by motors, they perform just as well. They are made of special wood which is then carved at the center leaving a hollow space for passengers. These boats can carry up to thirty people or more.

Speed boating is fun. But any activity on water is potentially dangerous, particularly if it involves an engine! So here are four top tips to make speed boating safe and fun ...1.

It is possible for the helmsman (boat driver) to be thrown from their seat or even overboard!This isn't a regular occurence - at least it hasn't happened to me (yet!)But because of this risk, a speed boat engine will come equipped with a kill chord. One end of the kill chord is attached to the ignition.

It's not only the helmsman who could be thrown from the boat. Anyone on board could fall overboard, or the boat might capsize or even sink! So never, never, never use your speed boat,...more
