We tried to tube/ski there once and it lasted about 2min's before I pulled the plug...way to narley for the size and traffic..I say no tubes alowed & a ski area...Dont get me started about a Seadoo area or odd even days like puddle-stone!

How do we know it wasnt the other boat cutting them off that was responsible?
I wouldnt trust anything the media reports anymore unless it was verified by someone who was actually there.

The other boat was not moving. There is a previous post from someone that witnessed the collision.
