Pet Peeve #1

PWCs,

When docking at public docks, look for innermost areas of the larger docks before taking up a full space. Today, at Center Harbor, I saw a PWC pull into one of the single space docks near the beach, basically filling a dock that a 30 foot boat could use with a 10 foot +/- PWC. Meanwhile there were four spaces (I checked while on my PWC) right next to the shore on the longer docks, I rarely see boats pulled in that far. The water is plenty deep and if you point the bow out to the lake the PWC sees very little wave action and doesn't smack against the dock. A little common sense and common courtesy goes a long way.
