What does it take

for people to learn that it's dangerous to let kids ride on the bow of a boat?

Yesterday afternoon I was heading out of Alton Bay, getting tossed around like a cork in a hurricane, when I saw two small children riding one on each side of the bow pulpit of an old, small cruiser.

The kids were hanging on to the bow rail with one hand and waving to passing boats with the other - and what looked to be momma was right up there with them, but not even holding on. It looked like they were riding a mechanical bull! AARRGH!
