Fall Boating

There was a red marker that was causing him some confusion so he figured it was safer to stop and check it out than to worry about getting hit from behind. Never had that happen before. Then, closer to Lees Mills he passed us again flat out. At least this time he didn't stop. My wife made sure I kept my mouth shut but it was hard. The few other boaters we encountered were very cordial and we all waved to each other as we enjoyed the day.

I live near Lee's Mills and it very hard to follow the 150 feet rule. There just isn't much room on that part of the lake and in the summer it can get very congested. That being said, the driver of the bass boat should get his license pulled.
