Just ain't right ! - 10/18/15 10:58 AM
Yesterday I was fishing at Gonzales on the Guadalupe and at noon I decided to head back to the ramp at Lake Wood. Within a mile of the ramp I got behind another boat that had a man and a little girl that looked about 10 years old. The little girl had no life jacket on and was trying to drive the boat. She was standing on the seat attempting to drive while the man sucked on cigarette acting like he did not care.
There was a Boy scout troop from Schertz in several canoes on the river and the girl did not slow down when going around them, throwing a rather large wake behind her boat. One canoe almost tipped over and another was pushed up on the bank. I idled by them and the scoutmaster thanked me for not creating a wake.
At that point I was angry and really wanted to say something. By the time I got to the ramp the girl and man had tied up at the ramp blocking it. I waited for them and could not believe what I seen next. The man walked to his pick up truck and started handing the little girl bottles of vodka and he carried several coolers to the boat. That man knew I was watching him and I glared at him. Finally he moved his boat and I loaded up and parked to the side and strapped my boat and motor down. I knew it would be a bad situation if I said anything and it would have probably escalated into a shouting match or a fight.
They left the ramp throwing another large wake and I left Lake Wood madder than hell.
