People ski and wakeboard in the slough I live in all day and it drives me nuts. My dock gets rattled to heck and it is just incredibly annoying. Clearly, these people have the right to ski where they want and there is precious little I can do about it. However, if it is smooth water they are looking for, I promise you that here is smooth water out in the big water on almost any day of the week on Lake Martin except for the big holiday weekends or a big wind (which is rare). I can't understand why the skiers and wake boarders can't go out in the big water and find the smooth water.....it's there!! I never should have put in a floating dock....my mistake....but I am almost to the point age wise where I have to hold on to the dock when the waves hit it. I know I sound like an angry old man which maybe I am, but I think the residential sloughs should be calm and people should go out a bit in the big water to ski,etc. I guess the argument against this is that then the people who live on the big water will have to put up with the waves.....maybe there is no solution.
