CL Disaster on Sunday

[getalife]

Did any one else NOT notice the bouys and rope in front of Library park this past weekend? Apparently they had some jet ski races and their track extended about 1/4 mile off shore. I launched early for the AC event and ran over the ropes causing a couple of grand in damages to my motor and jack plate. I know Scott Green hit it too, with no apparent damage. There were no lights or reflectors so it was impossible to see in the dark. Does Lakeport have any liability here?

Try calling Skip at Lakebed Management. He should be able to tell you who had the permit to do that.
