This Is Boating...?

Last week we were sitting on the dock in Winter Harbor having cocktails at around 5PM. The afternoon had been quiet, the wind light...when out of the blue..a SKI Boat...Malibu or some such came whizzing by with a skier and a STEREO SYSTEM pumping out 5000 watts of music via large speakers (3 0n each side) rigged out to either side of the tow frame....or roll bar fixed to the boat......facing the skier.

When the boat was moving away from us the sound was deafening for WELL OVER a Mile. This went on for 45 minutes,..Up and down..up and down. Makes a Jet Ski playing look like childs play.

What's up with that...??

Is this acceptable??

I have not seen any posts about this practice. Where is the Kayaking Crowd on this topic? NB
