And don't forget to watch out for those big, brown things...
...there's a big rock near us that is well inside, (maybe a couple hundred feet), a buoy. Normally, by this time of year, it is about 6 inches out of the water, but with the high lake levels, it is just starting to rear its head. Nonetheless, fools have hit it now two weekends in a row, as they pass on the wrong side of the marker. Last week, a pontoon boat bounced one of its pontoons off of it...not a direct hit. Yesterday, however, about a 20' outboard bowrider was headed right for it. The neighbor and I were both yelling, but BANG...direct hit! The motor jerked up out of the water. Mr. Magoo obviously never saw it. He did have a trolling motor on the front of his boat and next thing u know, he put that down and motored off with that and the outboard up in the air.
