A call to MP hdqtrs confirm that the officer picked up the ski and will return it. An hour later, it was returned and the MP comment that the ski is a navigation hazard and we shouldn't be leaving the ski behind! WOW! A new rule? I can't ski on a single ski any more??? There were no boats on Glidden Cove but mine that day. We were not endangering another boat.
Seems like a slow day on the lake....................

It almost seems to me like a totally unware MP officer..... the only defense for picking up your ski, is that he didn't see you skiing.... people have been dropping skis forever, and then comming back to pick them up..... sure you don't drop it in the middle of the six pack but as long as it is out of the boat traffic lane and you come back and pick it up it isn't that bad.....
Now if the MP was that unaware that some one was actively skiing, then I wonder what else he/she is missing while day dreaming on the water.
Now on an aside, I see tree branches in the water that pose more of a danger then a ski.... I wonder if the MP is picking those up....
