Smitty, did you mean for that to be in the Joke forum?   We have a new breed of boat owner/conductor.  The concept of destruction to pier, sea wall, bank, etc is so subjective that proving a certain boat did specific damage is difficult.  The same IDGAD attitude at ball parks, parking lots, grocery stores, etc is making its presence known on the lake.  Only change will be laws and enforcementl.  And both will be difficult.

Me,  I took steps this year to reinforce my floating pier and the mooring whips that try to keep my boat at bay.  But the current craze of boat surfing (how can that be more fun the good old skiing and wake boarding), and the 100 fold increased traffic to Parker Creek because of The Landing (which I am glad to have nearby) give me new challenges.  But I must say the grandkids LOVE bouncing on the tube over those big waves.  I just can't go to the center of the lake on Saturday, have to wait for them to come closer.
