This past weekend the weather was nice enough to get out on the lake to do some sailing and what a hoot! It was nice to get back down to our RV at the marina and spend an enjoyable weekend on the water and just having fun in the sun........
But I got to admit that I'm a little disturbed at how inconsiderate and rude some folks are in their power boats and on their jet skis.....geez....... I don't know how many times boaters (with & without skiers) just take off like a bat out of he-double-L and pass either in front of you.........or along side you......or behind you.......or where ever! Same thing for kids (and grown ups) on their jet skis......... It's like they have no regard for what their wake is doing to you or the problems that they cause for you while you're trying to sail. There are some folks that have manners and take it easy around you or try to avoid you but very darn few!
Excuse my "vent" but I do my best to stay away from other boats (and jet skis) and it's rather irritating that some will not return the same courtesy. Maybe this is just the way it is.........but it doesn't mean I have to like it!
Is it just me or does anyone else experience this while you're out sailing?
