Good grief, don't even get me started on this. I would like to be an MP for just one weekend!!! We live in Paugus Bay. On Saturday, two men were getting a PWC ready and into the water. One took it out, the other remained on the dock. The PWC driver "floored" it, causing a huge wake backlash at the dock. I screamed "150 feet, no wake." The fellow on the dock was extremely annoyed with me. I asked if his pal was buying the PWC and he said "No, he's my guest. He doesn't know the rules." I reminded him that ignorance of the law is no excuse. It's his responsibiilty to inform guests of the rules.... I think there are just too many folks carrying the "entitlement chip on their shoulders." After all, it's all about THEM.
