It would have been a much more interesting story if they were naked!

Seriously though, it's good that you found them and alerted them before they may have been hit by someone or drifted out into an area where they would have had a long paddle back.

But I would think that a boater should see a paddle board with people on board well before they struck it.

Seeing the paddle board was difficult because of the white caps and waves. As it was they had a long paddle back.

Wish I had taken pics. I was so upset that I didn't even think of it. Now if they were naked...out comes the Iphone. Ha ha

My belief here is more that the wife was with you and you didn't want to be assigned to the couch for the next week, because of a few pictures!!!!!!!

Seriously though, good for you for taking the initiative to warn them......

I have seen sunbathers flat on paddleboards a number of times in the No Wake Zone in front of the public docks. Can you imagine what would happen if this was not a new wake zone? I don't know about others but when the sun is setting over the docks, I would have difficult time seeing just a paddleboard.
