Re: Rule for swimmers in the water?
Here is what I found for Nevada...
Ski Flag
The observer shall continuously observe the person being towed. and shall immediately display so as to be visible from every direction, an international orange flag of at least 12 inches in height by 12 inches in width when the person being towed is getting ready to be towed and has a rope or line extended to him, or ceases to be towed and is in the water awaiting pickup by the vessel.
I am going to keep doing what I was doing, as it exceeds the requirements of the law. It is rather odd that the law varies so much from state to state though. By the way, I learned most of what I know about boating while living in the midwest, and just thought that it was universal in the United States.
Thanks for the replies!
