Laughing at that one !!

IShoot, our cottage is over near FL#1 and watching this area is routine comedy !

In the 25+ years of boating the Lake we have ALWAYS gone through the FL44 "S" pattern you describe

BUT

We have routinely watched everything from Pleasure boats (bow riders 20-30ft), Go Fasts -- and I mean the BIG BOYS, and even 38 foot cruisers with their tail dragging go through there ......... boggles my mind that there isn't at least one incident per week. But seems 99% make it, thus my questioning of my own understanding of that area.



and I am the loudest preacher of "Don't follow someone you THINK knows what they're doing"
