FLL, just for the record Camp Walt Whitman is on Lake Armington not Tarleton, yet for some reason they choose haul their boats across to Tarleton, maybe because there are more homes/camps on Armington to witness /complain about their reckless conduct? perhaps they figure any complaints will be directed at Kingswood Camp which is actually on Tarleton?

And I am very sure that if Carlin did indead go to Walt Whitman back then they would have stayed on Armington and if doing any power boating most likely would have obeyed the rules and COMMON SENSE / personal responsibility.

On many lakes, camps are very poorly thought of due to just such behavior. I used to laugh out loud in my little aluminum boat as the Camp Lawrence boat as it terrorized us small boaters. The rudeness, arrogance, the enormous wakes. I was just a kid, and I was scared of those terrorists.

You will rarely, if ever, witness courtesy on the lake by camp boats. It's always all about them, always. Follow the discussions, it's never enough to please them, or their supporters.
