My wife, kids and I went to the 'beach' at MacFarland Park this afternoon to enjoy an afternoon of sun, fun and swimming. UNfortunately, I spent more time watching out for IDIOTS in ski boats and on jet skis that DON'T UNDERSTAND the importance of water safety. These CLOWNS were CUTTING THROUGH the swimming area BOTH when entering and leaving the harbor, some at full throttle.
In the 3 hours we were there, I saw the Harbor Patrol once. Yes, I know, they can't be everywhere at once. But.....part of 'good policing' is BEING VISIBLE.
Please understand, I KNOW it wasn't EVERY boater, and for those boaters that DO understand water safety, I commend you. This rant is for that certain percentage that DOESN'T CARE.
