searay220 - good story. I stated in a different thread that It's amazing to see people who try to pack in a summers worth of fun and activity into a few short hours (or days) on the lake. COMMON SENSE TAKES A BACK SEAT IN THEIR QUEST TO BE THE HERO IN THE EYES OF THE FAMILY! We've all seen the reckless behavior. I know there are a lot of sensible boaters on the lake, but I've always approached it from an EXTREMELY defensive position, i.e. I will always ASSUME the other boater does not know the rules/law/protocol until proven otherwise. I've handed this position down to my kids, and it's satifying to see them boat with a cautious eye...afterall, we've all seen common sense being the least common thing! I'll keep an eye out for the van!
