Default Snorkeler was at fault

I was leaving our dock on Berry Bay on the Ossipee lake chain. We had just gotten onto plane and I noticed a very small red item in the middle of the channel. I came off plane and putted over to it thinking it was a kids toy. To my surprise s was a man SNORKLING across the lake with no lookout boat! The red was the tip of the snorkel and that was all I could see.

I followed him until he reached shore and I told him how close he came to getting run over. All he replied was a belligerent " mind you own F-ing business" turned and walked away.

NH regs require a dive flag for snorkeling and snorkeler must remain within 75' of flag.
