A large flotilla of Jet Skis passed by Roosevelt Island this morning on the East River attracting the attention of onlookers walking along the waterfront promenade wondering what was going on. It even appeared as though a passing NY Ferry boat on way from Long Island City to Roosevelt Island was having difficulty navigating through the Jet Ski flotilla.
This nonsense better not be the reason why the @NYCferry hasn’t arrived at Roosevelt Island yet.

Apparently it was a planned Jet Ski invasion meeting up near the LIC East River Pepsi sign. 
The Twitterverse adds:
