Gary....first of all, thanks to you and your colleagues for your hard work...I know ya'll don't get the appreciation you really deserve. I think that just being present and visible helps to keep some of the knuckle-heads from being complete idiots on the water.

I had a couple of questions for you: I generally have my wife in the boat as the "observer" when I tow the kids on the tubes or skis. However, there are times when the kids want to go and she's not available. Am I correct in my reading of the law that I can legally tow skiers/tubers WITHOUT an observer in my boat as long as I have a mirror of 78 sq.in. Similarly, my SeaDoos have the usual two rear view mirrors; is that also acceptable without an observer???

My second question relates to proof of licensure. Yes, I have a valid boater's license, and in a typical lake day, I am operating several different craft (boat & PWCs). Is it acceptable to you to keep a photocopy of my licence on each craft instead of the "real thing"??? This may sound petty, but being in and out of the water, it would be nice to know that I didn't have to keep my un-waterproof wallet on my person at all times. I try my best to follow the rules, and would like to know your take on this.

Thanks.......
