i am confused. We ride our watercrafts (seadoos) out there but the lake has a rule that boats and seadoos' have different days to ride. odd & even. How could this of happened???
I believe they only have alternate days during the summer months. Sad story in any case.
The lake is small and the area for boats and seadoos is tight. When you are out there you have to really be looking because people do not pay attention and often cut the turns. It's an oval track to speed around, and if you are not careful it can be very dangerous on busy days such as this.
