  I arrived on scene and both jet skis were already on the shoreline and one operator was present and the other was picked up by Leesburg Fire and Rescue who had a boat already in the area. 
  
  Operator2 and Operator1 were operating the vessels at a high rate of speed on Lake Harris traveling in a north easterly direction. Operator2 (V2) stated that they were traveling approximately 10-15 feet apart. As the vessels were nearing the Venetian Cove idle speed zone and Operator1 (V1) turned in a northerly direction into the path of Operator2 (V2) and slowed, Operator2 (V2) maintained his course and speed.
