In Blackey's Cove on Sunday. We are anchored across from the homes near the end of the cove, where it is fairly narrow. There were several anchored boats. Captain Bonehead in boat that, in my opinion, was overloaded with 8 people, and smaller boat than our 23.5 Four Winns. Races into the cove, and turns the boat so quickly that it nearly swamps, begins to head out of the narrow part of the cove. He was about 30 feet from our boat. My husband is frantically hittine the horn. The skier FINALLY let go of the tow rope, and he was not 20 feet from hitting the bow of our boat (we were anchored fore and aft). I screeched YOU ARE WAY TO CLOSE. Nobody apologized. The skier said "that was my fault, I should have let go of the rope". The boneheaded driver of the boat busied himself with something, while letting his boat now get within 8 feet of our boat, until he was told to BACK OFF. What a bloody idiot. I hope he reads this post. He put people at risk... but you can't fix STUPID.
