00:00…
00:30This could be any town, anywhere, anytime.
00:34Because here, just as everywhere else, one third of the population are aquamaniacs.
00:42This is the documented case history of a typical aquamaniac.
00:46We shall call him Mr. X.
00:49This is his home.
00:51But it wasn't always like this.
00:53Not so long ago, it was a well-kept, modest dwelling.
00:58Promptly at 7.30 every morning, Mr. X said goodbye to his family.
01:03Bye-bye!
01:05So long, Daddy!
01:06And left for work.
01:08Always walked, claiming the exercise kept him fit.
01:12But this was not altogether true.
01:17Secretly, Mr. X liked to walk by a place that sold…
01:22…boats.
01:24At first, it seemed harmless enough.
01:27But the human body is about two-thirds water.
01:31Some believe it's water on the brain that drives a man to boating.
01:38Not me, boy. I got willpower.
01:41I can take a boat or leave it.
01:51Hey! Give me one for the road.
01:56Ah, yes. Just one for the road.
02:00How those words have altered men's lives.
02:09Well, son, you're going to learn plenty about the briny blue.
02:13I'm going to teach you how to tie knots and show you all about seamanship.
02:17Gee, swell, Dad.
02:19Then I'm going to teach you how to water-ski.
02:26Hey! Avast, you lubbers!
02:28Hey! Quit your pushing!
02:30Oh, thanks, my binnacle.
02:32I'm the sailor!
02:48Stand by to cast off, matey!
02:51Aye, aye, sir! Anchors away!
02:55Whee! Full speed astern!
03:02Well, qu'il en est pour ce soir.
03:12Yippee, Dad! She's afloat, Dad!
03:16Dad!
03:18Dad!
03:21Yippee, Dad! She's afloat, Dad!
03:25Dad!
03:27Dad!
03:29Mr. X had much to learn about the ocean.
03:32For example, the effect salt water has on metal, etc.
03:36Commonly called rust.
03:44Where you been, Pop?
03:46Oh, just parking the car, son.
03:49Thanks, Dad. Put them on.
03:51Sure, son.
03:53And now you're going to see some real fancy skiing.
03:58All you gotta do is hang on.
04:01Skiers ready on the starting line.
04:05You're on the clock.
04:07Here's the countdown.
04:09Five...
04:10Come on, Dad, hurry. We gotta get in the race.
04:12Four...
04:13Race?
04:14Two...
04:15What race?
04:16Now, wait a minute, son.
04:19They're away.
04:21And they're jogging for position.
04:23Wait a minute. Hold it just a minute.
04:25Here comes a late starter.
04:27And he's closing in at like a hardwood ski.
04:31Stop! Stop the boat!
04:33Yes. Yes, he's sickling his driver for more speed.
04:38Stop!
04:40Mister, we'll get it.
04:49Oh!
04:56Hey, Dad, wait for me!
05:04There they go, around the marker.
05:06And here comes that late starter, folks.
05:09Heading for the turn. He's not...
05:11Oh, no, now he's dropping back.
05:13He's... Oh, no, no, he is not going to make it.
05:15Keep on going, Dad. We can beat him.
05:21And now for jump number one.
05:24Boys are making some fine jumps.
05:26Hey, fine.
05:27And here comes that Mr. X again.
05:30He's in the air.
05:32And he's pulling out in front again.
05:34Ladies and gentlemen, this boy knows all the tricks that aren't in the book.
05:45Yeah!
05:48Oh, no!
05:57Wait a minute, folks.
05:59And here comes Mr. X again.
06:01The miraculous recovery.
06:04Heading into the slalom at a terrific rate of speed.
06:07No, he'll never make it. He's going much too fast.
06:10He's too... No, he'll never...
06:13Oh, he's magnificent.
06:16It's a new speed record for the slalom.
06:28Yeah, that's great!
06:33Mr. X is closing back to me once again.
06:35Look at him go. He's closing back...
06:37Oh, no, no, no, he's not going to make the turn.
06:39He's not making the turn. He's done for.
06:41Hold on just a minute, folks.
06:43He has turned a near catastrophe into a marvelous piece of land.
06:49He's slightly off course.
06:52You've lost sight of him, probably.
06:56George, can you see him anymore?
06:58Help! Get me down out of here!
07:11Oh, no!
07:41Oh, no!
08:11Oh, no!
