They are tantamount to Mosquitoes with people on board. Pesky, irritating,
noisy, disruptive, and usually drunk.

Have a nice day.

Act I (Thursday morn.)

We camped (with friends) at Lake Jordan last weekend.
We managed to score an outstanding waterfront
campsite where we could beach our pontoon boat.
Typically, the occupier of the campsite has rights to
the beach area that comes with said campsite.
Campsites are usually first come/first served.

(keep this in mind).


-later that day....

A couple of muscle-head's get a campsite across the
street (not a waterfront campsite mind you) and decide
to use our campsite as a walk-through/staging area to
beach their PWC's at our private beach area. (how nice)

Well, we decided to allow them a little room down at the
"beach" to be nice. BIG MISTAKE... These jerks seem
to think doing doughnuts can only be done RIGHT BEHIND
our campsite all freaking day until sunset. Imagine,
dining with your family/friends in a nice outdoor setting
with the constant LOUD whine of 2 PWC's running
at full throttle right behind your campsite. (A lovely
notion isn't it??)

act II, (Sunday morn.)

The musclehead bros. decide to have a lil' ol' family reunion
down at our beach area. complete with 12 adults , 4-5 kids
(some hanging all over our boat) 1 dog w/2 yapping pups.

We now decide to re-claim our "beach".

The couple we shared the campsite with brought "Tank"
(a most well behaved great dane) along for the trip.
We figure Tank is about ready for a swim so we let
him lead us (leashed to about a 20' rope) down to
the beach.


Well...

I guess tank didn't go over to well at the family reunion
especially with the other dog and pups..

At first, Tank's owner kept him on a short length of rope/leash.

Then, with a few winks and nod's we decide to give
Tank a little more room to roam...

Yes sir, It was a joy to watch the lil' ol' family reunion
slowly migrate to the beach area next door. The
women were seen with hands on hips and glaring
eyes in our direction for hours.. snicker

A good time was had by all.

p.s. there is a community beach area provided to those
who are not fortunate enough get a site with a beach of
it's own. Only a fraction of sites have a beach. So
most are gone by Thursday afternoon.



btw...


If you insist on doing doughnuts,

GET AWAY from the (a) dock, (b) other boats, people

You assholes think doing doughnuts at the dock while waiting
for the tow vehicle/trailer is a GOOD IDEA?

What the F do you think a GD "no wake" zone is?


Do you idiots actually think EVERYBODY at the lake wants to
get a close up look at your idiocy?? Why can't you go to the
other side of the lake where there's plenty of room and do
that $hit.


Get your GD PWC out of the water and go get high or something.

db~maybe all jetskier's aren't this stupid. I don't know.

We have a lot of responsible PWC owners around here. It seems most of the real
jerks are riding rentals.
If the manufacturers had half a brain they would make quieter skis. "Noise"
seems to be the biggest complaint, (or at least the root of the complain) yet
there are some that you can't hear running 100' away.

At this point, we are fortunate to not have any jet ski rentals at Jordan or Kerr
Lakes.

I wonder how the sales stack up? It very much appears to me that a big part of the
appeal of a jetski is the "Look At Me" factor. Why buy a quiet jetski when the
whole point of having one in the first place is to attract attention to yourself
by whatever means possible?

Apologies in advance to the 10% of jetski owners that are responsible
riders


Lots of responsible jetski riders around here ?????????????????
Where the Hell is that place???????
90 % of jetskis I see have morons on them doing donuts in the swim areas,
racing at top speed through the swim area all the way to the beach, blowing
through all the no wake areas at 40 mph, pulling tubers with no rear facing
spotter, jumping the wake 20 feet from my stern, and on and on and
on..........
That is when they are not just out somewhere doing donuts all alone for
hours on end because they have come to the realization that they are just
water dirt bikes and there isn't a whole hell of a lot you can do with the
pathetic little boat wannabes.
Sad, because it doesn't have to be that way, they could be fun little gizmos
if they would limit ridership to people with some common sense.
Evidently, they cater to the dumb asses.
