The channel between Lil Bear and LI is about 200 feet wide (if that) - so how are they 1/4 mile off shore? I need clarification on where they were.
I have to admit - I have swum through that channel before - and isn't that what being at the lake is all about playing around in the lake? I am glad there were TWO of them - if it were just one kid I'd have said something to him/her.
I guess I just pay attention when I am out in the boat - and am not surprised nor alarmed to see people - espcially teens swimming all over the lake. Again - isnt that what it is really all about?
