We were driving to the dock after a tubing run with some members of the churches h20 group, it was around 11:35 or so the sky's were clear and the water was calm with just a slight breeze coming at su from the portside.  I had reeled in teh three man tube and put it on teh swim platform at teh stern of the boat the rope was in a coil on the deck near the engine cover.  I asked the girls to keep an eye on the tue and to hold on to the tube as we headed into the the dock.  We had been driving for about two minutes whe I heard a loud scream, as I turned aroud I saw someonerunning in tight circles and screaming, another girl was laying on the deck on the starboard side holding her leg, not saying a word and appeared to be in shock.  The third girl was sitting on the rear seat looking at her hands from the rope burn.  I stopped the boat to see what was going on.  I would find out the tube was slowly mving to the stern of the boat on the water, whe it caught air and went up like a kite.  the tube went up and back and as it reacehd the end of the length of the boat where the girls were sitting.  My wife called subject to infrom here as to what was going on as I headed to the dock.  When we arrived at the dock a few moments later we were met by subject and some other church members.  We were informed the EMT's had been called they arrived about ten minutes later.  They went about chekcing the girls out and treating their wounds.
