Y'know this could be taken the wrong way and I don't want it to be so let me say clearly: the guy on the PWC was acting in an indefensible way and I hope he is caught and given the max possible punishment for endangering this family's lives. No one who could or would do anything like this should be on the lake, or anywhere else, like on the road. This looks like, I'm guessing, a lake version of road rage. Here's where I may get misconstrued. This guy was probably hacked off about the wake...I'm guessing he has a dock back in Moon Branch. We are on the other side of Turner Point at just about the point where Turner Slough is wide enough to do figure eights and doughnuts and otherwise have fun in boats pulling folks. We pull folks too. From out there, I know it looks far enough to shore (or maybe some dont care) but from our dock, with the floating parts banging away to the point of damage for hours on end, it doesn't look far enough at all. I have wanted to wave my arms around in apoplexy when someone sits 150' of our dock dragging a series of kids around on inflatables, sacks ful,  in the same spot for long periods of time...but I don't. For me, when I pulls folks, I go to Secret Slough or elsewhere where ther are few to no houses and if I'm in an area with houses I try to move on and not stay in one place. Courtesy. Not trying to tell anyone what to do, just my opinion.
