There is a daily display of bonehead boating at a girls camp in Moultonborough Bay. They have a waterskiing boat that the girls gueue up to get towed behind. They are on a raft waiting their turn with two more girls in the water who apparently will be next. The tow boat comes around on full plane within 50 feet of the waiting swimmers and drops off the person being towed. I had a good view of the distances as they did this once with me sailing by only 150 feet from the raft and the towboat splitting that distance by coming between me and the raft. I couldn't believe my eyes. I watched for a while as I sailed off and they repeated that drop-off exercise with the same close drive-by's. Glad my daughter is not staying at that camp!
