"This is why you don’t allow inexperienced boaters to captain your boat, even for a minute. She was sitting at the rear sorting out the ski rope when it got sucked in. Captain should have had the engine turned off while ski rope was drifting in a bundle at the rear. Blame can be shifted to many people, but ultimately I will have to learn to simply say NO to people requesting to take the wheel.
Clarification: I took a family out boating for a day and the husband asked if he could take his wife & kids out for one last trip with him at the controls while I cleared the picnic site. Against my better judgement, but not wanting to turn him down in front of his wife & kids, I unwisely agreed. Verdict is that I am the ultimate culprit. "
