Angry The Increase In Cap'n Boneheads Ain't Helping Things

Dealing with the larger pool of Cap'n Boneheads out there is bad enough for us regular boaters. It's got to be even more of a pain to deal with them in a law enforcement role.

It seems to me many of the new boaters out there forgot everything they learned to get their Boating Certificate 5 seconds after they receive it. It's one reason I rarely make it out onto the lake on weekends, and if I do, it's usually late in the day about an hour or so before sunset. I head over to Timber Island, anchor in the cove and watch the sun set.
