I hardly ever post on the forum, but I love to read it.

I own a home on the lake, but am not a member of HOBO, for no good reason. I have no issues with HOBO. They are actually a a group of people that decided to do SOMETHING, besides complain about things on the forum. I suggest to anyone that has a problem with them, to go to their meetings and address them. Start your own group, whatever you want. But do something, not just talking.

About PWCs, they make less noise, pollution, than before, they're much safer to drive and more maneuverable than ever, and I can't say that they've destroyed someone's pier, unless they hit it dead-on. I'd love to capture the video of the 28-foot Sea-Ray, with the wake board bladders installed in the hull, "cruising" through my slough at 10 mph. We can't run off of the pier fast enough when we hear them coming. 5-6 foot waves are normal for that vessel. Everyone and everything gets soaked on the pier, and thank goodness that it's new, because it will easily tear an old floating pier off its hooks. And who ever thought they'd see the day when a pontoon boat can go 60 mph? The tri-toons are everywhere. And going fast.

We're all guilty of "bothering " someone else at sometime. But everyone I meet when I'm on the lake is great. Always smiling and waving to everyone. And will always stop to help if they see you need it.

So for me, when I'm on the lake and the weather's good, there's no other place in the world to be. HOBOs, PWCs, Rednecks, Turbo-toons, whatever!
