So my son and I are on the dock at Lake Pleasant waiting for Wes to show in the Trident. It's 9:30AM and here come 5, well let's just say the gene pool wasn't kind to them, people heading for the boat rental counter. They are already drinking an looked like it was not the first one of the day.
They rent a 22' open bow, then go into the ship's store and grab a case of beer for the 5 of them. The boat rental guy now assists them to the boat and helps them load up! WTF! :rolleyes: I didnÂ’t see anyone who looked like they were going to be the designated driver to me or have much of a boating sense.
I know we all party on the water. Personally I limit it to 2 for the day if I am driving or none on a busy weekend and wait until the day is done. But I just donÂ’t get allowing most likely inexperienced boaters to rent a fairly decent size boat, have already been drinking and send them on their way with a bunch more alcohol :220v: F'n rental company taking a chance on knuckle heads at our risk to make a buck
