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.

Oh I saw alot worse dumb sh@t on the water today and alot of it.
Let's put it this way, if DNR were on our lake today, they would have ran out of tickets!

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.

Those are the kids that would love to learn how to really waterski but their yuppie parents bought a pontoon instead of a ski boat. ------------- |

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. ------------- Mullet Free since 93 http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=717&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1991&yrend=1995" rel="nofollow - 95 Sport 1978 Ski Nautique |

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?  ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |

Here I am yesterday teaching my wife to drive through the minimum wake zone, telling her how important it is to respect these areas, when this 30 ft sea ray comes hauling through half on plane half off. Creating a huge wake and I could not grab the wheel and throttle fast enough to avoid it and took two waves over the bow. Pretty sure if that guy had pulled into the resturant, we would have had words. Dumbass would have had less wake if he was fully planed out! ------------- Boats: Current: 02 SANTE Sold: 89 Sport Nautique |

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.

Thats sad. We had one go down last week on mine. Seemed he was seeming inside the swim area, but close to the outside edge. Baja came by slowly and swamped him. Driver was in the right, but could have practiced some caution. Rescue got ther two minute too late. Just reminds you to watch your own butt, cause no one else will. ------------- ...those who have fallen and those who will. |

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. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

At the ramp yesterday loading up, I was approaching the trailer about 40 feet out and a base boat with a couple of toothless wonders drives right between me and the trailer at about 10 mph. The best part is they waved and gave a nod, couple a good ole boys they were. ------------- You canāt change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

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? john ------------- "Loud pipes save lives" AdamT sez "I'm Canadian and a beaver lover myself"... |

When scientists scan the global horizon, over-fishing, loss of species habitat, water shortage, climate change, and invasiveā species seem to be the biggest threats to the Earth.
What will our world be like in 2050? Population decrease and increase http://www.igamewow.com - wow power leveling There are two features in the growth of world population. First, the annual increase in population in 15 European countries, http://www.aoc4u.com - 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. http://www.eq2platsale.com - eq2 plat Global warming A recent research report indicates that it is quite possible that the Earthās 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 http://www.thffxigil.com - ffxi gil Africaās rivers face dramatic change that will leave a quarter of the continent severely short of water by the middle of the century. http://www.eveisk-sale.com - eve isk āIn those areas where there is already a water shortage, itās going to have a devastatingā” effect,ā the study says. āIf youāre already walking 5 km to the nearest stream to get water, by 2050, itās going to mean walking 30 km or moving your whole household closer to the water source.ā http://www.u4game.com/Wow_Power_Leveling.html - world of warcraft power leveling Four wheels good, four wheels bad http://www.aoc4u.com - aoc gold 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 staggeringā¢ three billion cars worldwide by 2050. If we continue to burn fossil fuels at current rates, levels of carbon dioxideā£ in the atmosphere will reach 550 ppm (parts per million) by around 2050. This will increase global temperatures between 1.4 and 4.8ā by 2050, and sea levels will rise between 0.09 and 0.78 meters. Help: |

battle of wits, if you took every person on this earth and laid them side by side, top to bottem, all 6.6 billion would fit in a 1 mile square box.....thats a blip on the map...not so many when viewed that way.
global warming? the earth cycles like a woman, the earth was covered in ice at one time and carved the Great lakes, then it warmed up and froze again, you cant take 100 years of data and and presume global warming. auto's put out next to nothing in emissions and the Carbon Dioxide that does exhaust from emissions is a key ingredient in photosynthesis ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

A few years back, four of us were putsing (sp) through a no wake (manatee) zone in the intercoastal of Venice, FL. We were in an 18' Donzi. I looked ahead, and here comes what I guessed was about a 70-80' yacht, moving so that he created the biggest wake possible. His wake was so large, it was knocking down vegetation on the shoreline. I had nowhere to go but strait. I told my passengers to hang on and as we hit his wake, I gassed it so we didn't flip. I don't know how high we went, but it was a rush.
A couple of minutes later, here come the Coast Guard chasing after him, with four officers looking mighty pissed off. Man, I would love to have heard that conversation. ------------- Play hard, life's not a trial run. '85 BFN '90 BFN White Lake, Michigan |
