When I lived in Middleboro MA, we would ocasionally go over to Plymouth on Sunday afternoon with lawn chairs, and watch the circus, as people pulled their boats out at the public ramp. Apparently it...

oops
I remember once slaloming up to the dock (with an audience) a bit too quickly. I drew the ski nearly vertical and hit the dock (fortunately gently) with the bottom of the ski, cushioning the blow...

The Ride
Yes, I too rode up from Southern MA in a 66 Ford wagon with the rear deck laid flat so that I could sleep, thus making me a human missile if anything were to happen. Now my kids complain about who is...

towables
Back in the day, we were not fortunate enough to have engineered towables to play with, so in our infinite wisdom, we designed our own. Those ranged from cabinet doors tied to the boat (don't dip the...

Observations
I have just returned from my week of bliss at the lake. It was hard enough leaving, but we got to return after making it to Bay due to a forgotten toy. It was just as hard leaving the second time. ...

Brave
I would think the boaters must be fairly brave (or foolish) to operate in an area so close to shore, and obviously prone to swimmers.

Debris
As a boater, I would be as concerned about the high water as property owners. The high lake level tends to generate hull cracking debris that is not normally present. I personally would rather thump...

Speed
Someone once told me that almost every accident is due to speed:
In this case, if he was drinking, he SHOULD have been going 0 MPH.
Anything more than that is (and proved to be) unsafe.

I think that I have said this before:
What is the ratio of ALCOHOL related mishaps to SPEED related ones?
Common sense (what's that??) should rule the speed limit.

Some of my first dates were skating at the pavillion. There's a lot of fond memories there. The Oak Birch Inn was another great place.

I would THINK that as long as they got the water levels down before ICE OUT, the damage would be kept minimal. They should be able to run off more water even after some ice has set in. The down side...

Unfortunately they are taxing the older Summer Lake residents right back home. The taxes on my parent's property are now annually more than they paid for it. :(

Focus
Obvoiusly another case of innattention out on the water. As stated above, a stationary pontoon boat is a noticable object. I suppose it's a good thing that the boat was hit, and not the tubers.
