Very well thanks. Off cane, attending court Wednesday to make sure the lady that hit her doesn’t get off easy. Legal stuff, don’t know particulars but lawyer said she has to be there. Her new car arrived, very pretty, she happy, going back to work on 28th. GD lucky, could have been killed, seriously, it was bad, these new cars are freaking amazing with passenger protection. Some say, they don’t make them like the used to, to which I say thank god.
Yep, just enough speed to take on any wake, keep a breeze blowing through the boat, being able to hear the tunes without blowing up the amp and the wee twins below my feet sipping fuel for a nice long ride. Yep for sure going out tomorrow.
So this is where I get in trouble, as soon as idiot #1 anchored in so close I would go into quiet confrontational mode (Queen always says I’m going to get shot) my first action would be to use the radio, not required on the lake but a good thing to have and a good way to let my young PD friends know things are a skew. Obviously there would be no response, then I would get their attention with my PA and broadcast my cell number and ask for a call, then proceed to hold school about proper anchoring/rafting and such. LN rule more than three boats rafted 300ft minimum from ANYTHING. Still no acceptable response IE gee sorry about that we will move over then I’m back on the radio reporting an inexperienced boater causing a dangerous situation. I’ve done this twice and both times the Calvary (PD) come cruising up. Amazing how cooperative people get when the blue lights are on. No yelling/cursing, me included. Things just seem to work out. Moral, get to know the fine folks that patrol your area/ stay calm and if you can’t work it out with someone bring in the referee. To let some yahoo bully you because they think they own the lake is unacceptable in my book.
Hey, wait a minute....I resemble that remark. However, all of my neighbors have one on our tiny lake, and after a few libations, we are the dumbest bunch on the water. Haven't seen any drooling fuc*wits tho.
So I would like to clarify my remark, CFBC also rents bow riders up to 26’ it isn’t the vessel, it’s the operator.Hey, wait a minute....I resemble that remark.

I’m sticking by my statement. it usually some clueless retired age guy with more money than brains sporting a $350k moron barge with twin 350+ horse outboards.
Me too! The farther the better!
The Covid boaters were a plague on my lake. 2019 was the lowest traffic since I had started there in 2004. Then the Covid boaters buzzing around all over the place with no regard for the rules. My favorite are still the pontoon running at night with their headlights a blazing. Fuck everybody else's night vision. Wake boats full of ballast pulling a surfer into a cove littered with anchored boats. This year that has calmed down quite a bit. I think a lot of of the Covid people are finding out that gas is the cheapest part of boating. I see a lot of 2019 - 2021 used boats for sale now. Good riddance.
Always with the f**king “headlights”
I thought Powell had come up a lot since winter.
