Thank God it's over....
There were 2 injuries that I know of for the weekend. One at the rock and one boating accident. I am amazed and thankful that there weren't more. The DA quotient seemed unusually high this year. Can someone tell me why folks:
*pass 10 ft. away making as big a wake as possible and think that's OK *don't see a need for nav. lights....all of them *think it's OK for their underage kid to drive because "it's just right here where I can see them" *come to the fireworks show in a boat....the first time they are on the lake at night...without a map or a clue *Question after the fireworks from a boat near the DSC. "Can you tell me how to get back to Wind Creek?" Answer..."Follow those boats I'm sure at least one of them are going back there."
I could go on but I better stop.
BTW it is illegal to ride the lake with docking lights. As the poster said usually you can see better without them. They create such a glare and are blinding to other boats. Yes they allow people to see you but that's all they can see because of the glare. We do stop boats for that and typically write warnings. However it is not possible to safely stop boats for that after the fireworks show. I'm not endangering myself or somebody else just for docking lights.
Thanks to the folks who assisted at the accident scenes. It was greatly appreciated.
Happy 6th of July.
Gary
