I had a similar experience about 10 years ago but was able to circle around quickly and put my boat between my son and the oncoming boat. I thought we were going to have to abandon ship as the guy driving didn't even see my boat, much less the kid in the water. At the last minute, he swerved as I guess he saw me jumping up and down waving and hollering. All I got was a single finger salute and the same sick feeling of panic ( I'm sure you had) that one of my kids was going to be killed. What it did for me was to convince me NEVER pull anybody on a tube, wakeboard, or skis anywhere that is even the least bit congested. We go out early, or late before the traffic gets too bad. I am glad everything worked out for you and the other driver. at least you got an "I'm sorry" wave.
