    Default New Boat Safety Device.......


    My new clamp-on the windshield Ski mirror just arrived from BPS. I had some "too close for comfort" water bugs following me last year. Besides, I needed to spend my BPS gift dealie.

    These bug drivers aren't paying much attention to stuff. New Wave Runner came out with a turbocharged rig. Faster than a Corvette 0-30 mph. Just what we all need.

    I am in the boat a lot by myself, my reactions ain't what they used to be, so I am just being cautious.

    I understand, but you shouldn't have to. Thank you careless people of the world.

    Back about 10 or so years ago some guys were on those things at night and ran into an anchored house boat. I think it ruined their whole night.

    I wonder if we could invent a water rake. Just like when you step on a rake. Make is so they pop up and slap over the front of the wave runner.

    Great to hear this. I wish you could set up shop in front of my place. I know you guys are short handed.

    I have heard talk about setting speed limits. I know several people who have been ticketed for excessive speed and there is no limit except common sense. I believe there exists an endangerment law, both to self and others. I know that other(TN) state laws are kinda grandfathered into TWRA rules and regs.

    I am a retired teacher. I know about attitudes. I for one appreciate the efforts you and the TWRA folks put into your work.
