Hi, just want to share my experience to everyone here, while summer is in full swing and everyone is out enjoying the lake. PLEASE be ATTENTIVE and SAFE when on the water. Yesterday while out on a Kawartha lake 3 of us rented a 14ft boat and were fishing outside the channel, some 200m away from the channel marker. We were stationary, motor off, standing up fishing. At the last second my friend, who was on the bow, spotted a 18ft Bayliner speeding at 45km/h in a direct collision course to our stern, where I was. We were jumping and waving and at the last second I realized he wasn't stopping so I jumped. When I surfaced there was chaos as the bow of their boat breached up on to our stern, sinking our boat. We bailed and towed the boat back and that's when I saw how their bow dented the INSIDE of our boat, and their hull which destroyed the bench where I was sitting. We escaped with minor injuries. If there was ever a miracle this is it.
