I buzzed the Hunter residence on Station Camp Creek this week-end and there was a nice little 31' Commander sitting under cover looking quite happy. On my way out, I ran into TWRA (Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency) who was busy pulling over PWCs and giving them tickets if they didn't have a fire extinguisher on board, ha. I waited a while, they stayed right there at the entrance to the cove, so I just motored by and gave a polite look, so as to not establish eye contact, and motored right on down the river at a nice planing speed to get the heck out of the way. On Labor Day week-end, TWRA seems to use this as their yearly fund raiser. I'm sure they pulled a few drunks off the lake, so just as well, but a what good is a fire extinguisher on a PWC? Just roll it over?
I motored by the Hunter residence trying not to make a wake too big, which is a chore with the Skiff as it displaces a good amount of water. Nobody fired any shots over my head so I guess they were either looking the other way or I was going slow enough!
