Kudos to an aware driver!
I was making my way back to West Alton Marina from Wolfeboro on Sun. afternoon. I was trailing behind a boat pulling a tube. I stayed starboard and aft of this vessel giving him plenty of room to maneuver. As we approached the Southeast side of Treasure Island my concern was not to get within 150' of this boat while watching out for the black top that I knew to be in the area. Unfortunately, with my concentration most focussed on the other boat, I had lost the location of the marker. Much to my surprise, the driver of the other boat was aware of my position and signaled to me that I was about to pass the marker on the wrong side. I just wanted to give this individual credit for being aware of his own boat and towable, as well as other craft around him. It isn't every day that you see boats that have toys -in- tow acting as responsibly as this. As we both slowed to no wake speed near the entrance to Small's cove we exchanged waves. I hope he reads this.
