Then we could not believe it when they continued right through the channel with a child on the tube (tow rope extended to around 60+ feet). We ended up being several boats behind. I was concerned that the fast flow may swing the tube into the oncoming boat traffic but they made it okay.

Is it only me thinking that this was a stupid action? I can't help being aggravated about the risk they introduced to everyone in the channel if something were to go wrong. I felt like I should have done something but you can not change stupid.
I see people pulling tubes or other pull behinds through the six pack, hole in the wall, barber's pole, and grave yard all the time...... do I agree with it no,,, should something be done about it, I wish something would be.... however I have seen this done right in front of the MP so I am thinking there may actuall be no rule against it.....

Skip any words of Wisdom or obscure RSA that you know off here????
