Narrative:

While performing a maintenance test flight; we saw a go fast type vessel coming towards the aguadilla bay; near the rincon area. We proceeded to take a closer look to verify the boat and its content. To our surprise it was a parasailing boat towing a chute. We could not see the chute; since its colors blended with the earth backgnd until we were close to it. We immediately took evasive action and were able to clear the chute without further incident.
