I know the rules about slamming and threats and I hope that this is not going to fall in that pit. The wife and I took the grandaughters out saturday to swim and fish or play at fishing, I sure you know what I mean. well luckly I dropped my wife and the girls at the beach at the Narrows. and my daughter and I were going to trailer the boat for the night We got past the no wake sign and we were heading toward the back side of the of the wall by the ramp. Well we watch pretty close eye for jet skies. and one past on one side and another on the other side both had to be doing 40 to 50, Ok no problem then just as we started to turn into no wake zone for the ramp here comes the PWC back at us at full speed same game this time they got closer, a moment later a baha and one of the speeding boom box skie boats come at us they crossed each others wake twice before passing with in a few feet from our pontoon, they were having a ball what happened next could have been tragic when the 2 wakes from these two big boats hit we hit a 3 foot wake and when the front dropped back down a wall of water nearly washed every thing off of my boat. had my 4 year old grandaughter been on board I have no doubt she would have been washed out too. Not to mention the fear this could have caused her, I was unable to get the numbers on the boats just trying to maintian control of the boat. now Barren River has right at 10,000 acres of water and the area we stay in is pretty much used by families, and operators help each other out if needed, So If a parent or maybe even one of the kids driving the boats reads this board please remember just because a boat can do 60 it may not be the right place to do so. This makes it tough on everyone from fishermen to family outings, a safe and responsible operator watches every where and if you have a need for speed use the main part of the lake
