The old boat hoist at Mahukona has been replaced, though it’s not yet ready to handle boats apparently. But recently, two new signs appeared at the site.
The top one, advising swimmers to beware of boaters is OK, though it implies there are boaters out there, cruising the waters, searching for swimmers to run down. If those boaters exist, I’ve yet to encounter them.
The second sign was the one that caught my eye though. Beware of swimmers! What do they think we’re going to do? Bite a hole in the boat? Attach a mine? Reach a long arm over the side and drag the boater to a watery grave? I guess ‘Watch out for…’ was too many letters!

A bit of strange wording. I would have put Be Aware of Swimmers

Me too. Only one letter difference but a big difference in meaning.

Hilarious Graham. I think you’ve hit the nail on the head – there are some desperate swimmers out there!

by the time you have read all the signs you will probably be a very annoyed swimmer chasing boats that are also chasing you!

I know they’re just encouraging everyone to pay attention and be aware of other water users, but they make it sounds so dark and dangerous.

I remember your promising to show your funny signs.

These signs are needed if weirdly worded for the second one. “Watch out” for swimmers makes more sense!

I have no problem with the signs, just the choice of words. To me, ‘Beware’ has a darker and more threatening tone than they intend. ‘Be aware’ would work better too!

That makes more sense. Be aware, lol, so simple.
