Just for your info.....it is illegal to tow a tube in a channel. I've seen the MP stop people for it.
Also have a "bonehead" story.........Skier in the water waiting for power. Along comes a rental pontoon boat with 6-8 Asian men, all in long sleeved white shirts and long black slacks. All standing and all with a drink in hand. The captain was weaving deliberately, just fooling around and all were laughing and having a good time. Only problem was, they were heading right for my skier.......fortunately, I had time to quickly circle to protect her and they passed within 30' at about 20mph which was about WOT for a 50HP. Still shaking my head over that one even though it was several years ago. Don't know if they were a religious group, conventioners or what. Makes me wary of rental boats.
