Well if Skip says there is no law, then there is no law. My apology's.

This is from the states Boater's Guide. However this is not the first time that we have found problems with the states interpretations.

"Do not jump the wake of a passing vessel, or ride too close to another vessel, because this creates special risks and is a common complaint about PWC and "ski craft" operators. These operations are also illegal".
