Figure 15.—Estimated average daily instantaneous numbers of re- 
creational shrimp fishermen (dark) and persons (light) by areas, 
weekdays (W), and weekend-days (E) each month in 1973. None was 
observed in coastal waters. 
Skiing, like sailing, was an important recreational 
water sport in local waters. Ski boats are commonly used 
alternately for skiing and fishing. Their proportionate 
use as a fishing platform was not determined by this sur- 
vey. An area comparison of the estimated average daily 
number of transit ski boats is shown in Figure 20. 
From 125 to 130 charter boats and about 15 party boats 
operated intermittently or on a daily schedule out of 
local marinas in 1973. They are included in this section
