Debris

[Cindyjo]

Gosh, there were water skiers out in the Bridgeport area. The debris in the James just keeps coming. I still see large trees floating down and lots of partially submerged logs. If your on TR in your boat you better be at idle.

We were in the Kimberling City area since Thursday; tons of jet skiers/wake boarders out after 10:00 am also; but no noticeable debris yet.

No fishing to report; little ones seeing all the other water activity; preferred that route.

-

We did our faster boating before 10:00am; then if we went out in the afternoon with everyone else, it was just idle speed with the Bimini top up to sight-see. Cause there were plenty of other people, up on plane buzzing around, no sense in adding us to the mix. So we would just idle down the shore.

No noticeable debris ??????? Look in the dictionary, JET SKIERS / WAKE BOARDERS = " NOTICEABLE DEBRIS " !!!!!!!

Sorry, could not help myself. Wait a second, " NOT SORRY @ ALL " !!!!!!!

Hahaha........fair enough.........how about.........hhhmmmm............no noticeable debris washed in by Mother Nature and heavy rains?:-P

-

But yes, plenty of wake boats and jet skiers flying around like lunatics.

And to be honest; the family and I were just having such a good time down on The Rock, the mayhem didn't bother me much. (Strange? Maybe I'm getting old) We just tried to do the majority of boating stuff in the morning; then around 10'ish-hit the pool or run into town to grab a bite to eat. Cause most of the rif-raf were on the lake.

-

I only had a couple incidents of drunks wandering around being annoying that bugged me a little; but again, we were able to ignore them.

-

And I woke up at 4:00am Sunday morning to load the boat and avoid the goofballs. Cause they couldn't even pull the boats into the slip without slamming the dock. I have no clue how they were going to get a boat on a trailer?!??!.........but I was back in bed shortly after loading and slept until the rest of the family got up a few hours later.

The little ones were thrilled by the kimberling city fireworks on the water. Staying in schooner it was no big deal. Idled out to the mouth of schooner; found a nice spot. Then when it was over; everyone staying in schooner idled back with lights on, single file back to their respective docks. Easy-peasy........no main channel mayhem for us to deal with big cruisers. Maybe we just lucked out?
