I consisently see some good and very bad boating etiquette
on the lake. The biggest problem is PWC operators (mostly young ones) who do not look before turning, etc. FYI, I also own a PWC and have no problem with them. I see a lot of horrible etiquette from boaters, including ones who are 25 and beyond. There is far too much playing chicken on the water where boaters wait to the very last mintues to change course when two boats are headed in same path. I see boats flying around turns where it's very dangerous and where there is poor visiblity. Also, boaters who pass right by boats that are not moving or moving slowly at high speeds.

I still see a lot of good boaters and one's willining to help distressed boaters which is nice. It's on weekends like the past one where you really notice the poor boating etiquette and where it becomes a hazzard.
