What is the distance a boat should be from a dock while tubing, wake boarding or skiing? The Alabama test book says “must be a safe distance”. But what is safe? I live in a slough about 150 to 200 ft wide and had people wake boarding in and out with my kids swimming off the dock. One guy went within 30 ft of the dock towing someone on a wakeboard. I do not what to stop someone from having fun. But, safety of the kids comes first. Is it possible to request a no wake buoy be put in at the mouth of the slough by the marine police? Would everyone have to agree to it?
