Capt B rides again

[Mee-n-Mac]

Despite a few reports of Capt B out and about on the lake it seems nobody has bothered to compile his efforts this year. I shall now rectify that oversight Here are my sightings so far ....

In Alton Bay just past Sandy Pt (FL 23) I saw a cruiser headed out with 3 kids dangling legs through the rails on either side of the bow. Capt Bonehead proceeded with more speed (relative term) than I would have used given the traffic rounding FL23. He was overtaking a PWC and as I watched, awaiting the collision, one of his kids must have yelled to Dad because he chopped throttles at what I estimate was 4 - 5 ft arears of the PWC. I don't think the guy in the PWC ever saw the other boat. Capt B then proceeded up the bay at NWS for as far as I could see.

Later that day I saw the good Capt at the helm of a ski boat. Guess he thought that starting his skier right smack between FL23 and the shore was the right thing to do. The skier did get up after several attempts and was right quick about raising his ski over his head when 2 boats headed up the bay past him. I guess Capt B was just giving him sufficient motivation.

Lastly Capt B was towing his kids behind his Regal bowrider around 7 pm. As it got darker he remembered that he should have his lights on and thusly complied (maybe around 7:30-ish). Still was towing his kids around as it closed in on 7:45. Lights on and still tubing !?! I think both kids got off the tube but I couldn't really see them well enough to be sure.
