All the thrills are here to see! 5. WATER-SKIING AFTER DARK: MIAMI - This is the first—And last time you're likely to see water skiing at night! It's too dangerous, as several sea-going slat-men demonstrate when they skim along Biscayne Bay after dark. (TRAILER) CANCER DRIVE. (LOCAL – CANADA) SWEEPSTAKE WINNER.
