Dumbest thing ever witnessed on the water
Here is a place to post the dumbest thing you have ever seen on the water. Must be something you actually saw yourself. No second hand...
I'll start:
Last weekend the local party cabin - mostly 20-30 year old males - were on the pontoon on Sunday afternoon. Doing probably 20 mph with about 10 people on the boat. Three of them were sitting on the front deck with their feet in the water doing the 'pretend barefoot' thing - which is actually pretty fun, although illegal in most states these days.
We are watching from across the lake, which on our lake is about 400 yards (or less). I mentionted to everyone on our dock that it is fun but dangerous and illegal, and the next second - someone inside the fence on the pontoon reaches over and PUSHES one of the guys off the front deck.
We were all stunned. In my book that is attempted murder. Fortunately the driver killed the engine immediately and the kid surfaced about 40 feet behind the boat. Apparently intact.
Top that ....

If you believe something to be true, it will be - in it's consequences.
