It looked to be about 7-8 feet from the fixed points. Before I could say look out the balloon went from the dock between my friend who was driving and my 11 year old daughter.
The balloon would have hurt someone or at least knocked my friend away from the controls of the boat. Everyone on the boat could've been severly injured.

Marine Patrol was notified.

Has anyone had a similar experience?
There were some kids hanging out next door at a house that is under construction. They were not from that house, but I think I know where they came from. If you were in the cruiser that came in and talked to the people at the next house down, that was me. I believe they came from the house on the other side of those docks.

We found today that our hot tub had been messed with: the temp was changed, the screen view was changed, it was full of pine needles and there were empty Budweiser cans laying on the ground. I think they came my way after we left that day as we left about an hour after talking to you.
