It was a great weekend on the lake. We were heading back to the marina in Paugus bay Sunday evening around 5:30 PM we witnessed a family pulling a tube towards the Wiers right in the middle of all the boats. I thought that was a poor choice by the driver but it is their right to the lake. Then we could not believe it when they continued right through the channel with a child on the tube (tow rope extended to around 60+ feet). We ended up being several boats behind. I was concerned that the fast flow may swing the tube into the oncoming boat traffic but they made it okay.

Is it only me thinking that this was a stupid action? I can't help being aggravated about the risk they introduced to everyone in the channel if something were to go wrong. I felt like I should have done something but you can not change stupid.
