Watercraft #1 was pulling a tube with three occupants on it. The watercraft was at the south end of the lake and was going toward the left to follow the eastern shoreline. Operator said as he was turning, he saw another boat coming by and Operator #1 had to make a wide turn to the left along the shoreline. As the boat was turning, the tube swung around and hit Watercraft #2 which was on a boat lift, causing injury to the three tube occupants and damage to WC #2. Life jackets were being worn and alcohol was not a factor. Operator #1 was cited for reckless operation.
