I find it amazing that boat users are saying that they can find it to be dangerous for tubes to be on waters due to a visabilty issue! To be honest if a boat user cannot see something foating on the water that it around 4ftx4ftx 3ft then they should not be out in a boat! and if they drive cars then I fear for young children in their area too.
That is a rediculous arguement that only shows a fault in some boat users and still does not help any arguement against tubers.
sounds like a good result by the way
