Two cringe-worthy events, one wrong side of the marker , one shattered my belief in common sense.
Last Sunday, a twenty something bowrider with at least 6 people on board, on full plane, traveling 35-40 MPH, crossed the Witches just north of the southernmost red markers. It sure looked like they saw the marker and just misread it. I gave them five or ten blasts but they just waved. Thankfully they didn't hit anything.
Yesterday we're heading towards Glendale south of Welch, when a large blue express crusier, 35'+ crosses us 75' off to our port bow. That's bad enough but not that unusual.
BUT on the bow of their boat are at least two kids, lying on their stomachs, Superman-style on the bow cushions, they're holding on to the short cushion rails literally for their lives. Every bump sends their bodies flying up into the air. I'm still kicking myself for not calling the MP, but all I could have said was a big blue boat with kids on the bow.
