So the fireworks at Lake Pleasent went off with a bang in more ways than one could ever expect.
At about 10:30pm I was headed back to the north lane boat ramp of the harbor. I'm in the middle of the lake doing about 30mph when I look to the left and see the green light of another boat way to the left of me. He starts to overtake my speed when all of a sudden I see the gren light go staight up and hear this big bang over my loud boat. I quicky hurry over there with spot light in hand when I remember that there is a reef there at the entrance. Sure as you can expect...He jumped the reef. He almost cleared it. It was a Sea Ray and I would say about a 19 to 21ft. The 3 people in there, Husband, Wife and Teenager were ok. Him needing stiches to the head. All of this and he was trying to get people to tow him to the ramp and not call the police. Can we say drinking? Needless to say all of a sudden 6 police boats showed up.
The boat was still there this morning and didn't look to have any hull damage at all. Too bad for this guy, he will never forget this 4th of July.
