I love to ride a jet ski, and ride them pretty rough in the middle of the lake. I love to knee board, ski, and pull people doing the same, plus tubes. Loads of fun. I try to do that away from the docks but waves are going to the docks and shoreline no matter where the boat is. I do try to be courteous when in narrow sloughs, and near houses.

I watch people ride their boats by my house, watch multiple boats pull multiple tubers, or skiers, or wakeboarders. I love to watch people safely having fun on the lake. I enjoy watching people fish, but do get a bit nervous when the hooks get near my boat and pier. My boat seats had a few rips that looked like fish hook rips, but like OT, I did not see it happen.

I do consider it to be my job to secure my pier with good posts, concreted in, etc. I consider it to be my job to secure my floating dock with chains, and bolts, and to check them often. I consider it to be my job to secure my boat (unfortunately I do not have a boat house, or a boat lift) in such a way to handle the waves and vicious storms that inevitably come my way.
