Weekend Observations

As I have stated in the past, the ROW rule is my biggest pet peeve. Every time we go out I have to come off plane at least once because someone either doesn't care or doesn't know what the rule is. It's not that complicated.

However, until there is some sort of on the water DRIVING test and MORE marine patrol..... there isn't anything we can do! Honestly, I would rather be the bigger person and just avoid a collision. It is more than evident that there is a lot of people out there that haven't a clue. MOST of them in smaller boats.

Not the ones that have been complained about such as high performance boats. Again, our issue on this lake is EDUCATION and ENFORCEMENT of the current laws. NOT A SPEED ISSUE.
