^^ Such is what happens when he can't defend himself against 5 people at once. You've got to pick your battles. He'll learn in time.
As for the people getting in over their heads on the water... a simple glance at the forecast for the weekend in their area and then making a smart decision about their boat/watercraft of choice would have alleviated most problems. People tend to let adrenaline and ego dictate what happens. Worse yet, they perceive the warm weather as their "right" to get back on the lake. If nothing else, they should be even more wary about getting into a boat or other watercraft than they would about driving a car during a storm.
It's all common sense, and rarely about skill at that point. You can't restore whatever edge you had that mother nature took away already.
