What I find of even greater concern is those that tow their kids on tubes or knee boards thought the greatest areas of congestion. It seems to me that they are exposing their kids to significant risk. Further, they often are ignoring the 150' regulation whipping the tubes within 50 ft of other boats at on plane speeds. I just can't understand it. An adult risking themselves I kind of get, even though I think they are being fools. But to risk their kids???
When we go tubing or skiing we seek out a quiet cove or out of the way place. I just don't get it. Are these people truly that thoughtless?
