Why some boaters skould have thier A$$ kicked.

We all could share some stories on some of the stupid things we've seen people do on the water with thier boats. Here is an example I found.


Why some people should not be allowed on the water

    That's dumb all right. Last weekend we went out to ride at 6am and the fog was so thick you couldn't really see past the bow. So we tossed the anchor in a small cut in the shoreline and listened to 30-40 bassboats heading out for a tournament in the fog WFO. I was amazed there was no carnage when the fog finally lifted.

When I was about 11 years old I sat on the front of my uncle's pontoon while he was cruising (15-20mph) across the lake. I put on two skis and set them down in the water, skimming across the lake in front of the pontoon. I don't know if they didn't see me, or saw me and thought it was ok (they're generation didn't take suck the willingness to risk out of their kids). The tip of one of the skiis caught and ripped the ski off my leg almost pulling me with it. The ski shot right through the middle of the two pontoons and BAM!--hit the outbooard motor. It was a lucky day. Neither me nor the outboard was hurt, just a big hunk taken out of the wooden ski.

That was pretty dumb.

My brother witnessed an idiot completely t-bone a boat (which had a skier in the water) two years ago. People jumped off BOTH ends of the boat--that's how dead center it hit. It literally broke the boat in half and sunk it.

Sometimes people wonder why I insist on hand signals and a few other basic rules.    

I've had several CCFans on board; never an issue. Then I get a boating newbie out with us over a couple of days or weekends(takes more than a short spin around the cove)...then they see why. Yikes!

Maybe it's because there aren't any signs? What the heck is a marker?

Must have been a classic moment.   

Tell her we said hey.

They are currently searching for a body (been down about two weeks) in my lake, and one on the lake next door (been down about one week) both tragic but completely preventable. Be safe kids!

No crashes. No deaths. No accidents. No Trash. No Water cops.

30 years.

Private Lake only used by people who live there.

It will eventually be opened to the public....and be overcrowded.

Not likely on my lake, the water at the bottom is cold and deep. Last poor fellow they found about 5 months later in 160ft of water after the family raised enough money to send out some serious equipment and professionals.

Still one of the very best pieces of water in Ohio. Great memories from childhood there. Some of our earliest Ski Club members lived on your lake. Shame what "they" are gonna do but...time goes on...nothing lasts forever. How long have you had the good fortune to live there?

When scientists scan the global horizon, over-fishing, loss of species habitat, water shortage, climate change, and invasive① species seem to be the biggest threats to the Earth.
What will our world be like in 2050?
Population decrease and increase
wow power leveling
There are two features in the growth of world population. First, the annual increase in population in 15 European countries, age of conan gold   in the past few years, has been only 300,000. The United Nations estimates that by 2050, the population of European countries will decrease from the current 0.72 billion to 0.63 billion. Second, the population in developing countries is growing rapidly. Over the past 50 years, the rate of increase in population has been fastest in the least developed countries. By 2050, the population of Africa is expected to reach 1.8 billion, 0.9 billion more than its current population.

Global warming
A recent research report indicates that it is quite possible that the Earth’s temperature is rising well above the previous estimate. Such an result would have severe consequences.    
A research team from the University of Colorado used satellite data to estimate that the ice sheet will lose up to 48 cubic miles by 2050. In comparison, a city with the size of Los Angeles uses one cubic mile of fresh water every year. Ice shelves in the Antarctic will have decreased by more than 7,200 square miles in the next four decades.
Water shortage

Africa’s rivers face dramatic change that will leave a quarter of the continent severely short of water by the middle of the century.

“In those areas where there is already a water shortage, it’s going to have a devastating② effect,” the study says. “If you’re already walking 5 km to the nearest stream to get water, by 2050, it’s going to mean walking 30 km or moving your whole household closer to the water source.”

The car has transformed the lives of people, but the planet is paying too high a price. Today there are 620 million private cars worldwide, to say nothing of buses, vans and lorries. With current growth trends, that number is expected to reach a staggering③ three billion cars worldwide by 2050.
If we continue to burn fossil fuels at current rates, levels of carbon dioxide④ in the atmosphere will reach 550 ppm (parts per million) by around 2050. This will increase global temperatures between 1.4 and 4.8℃ by 2050, and sea levels will rise between 0.09 and 0.78 meters.
