    Found this on the internet yesterday…read more Sad and tragic news regarding Tom. ----- Obituary for Thomas P. Jones V November 29, 1987-August 18, 2022 Thomas P. Jones V has sadly passed away on the evening of August 18, 2022, as a result of a motorcycle accident. He died doing something he truly enjoyed. Thomas graduated from South Glens Falls in 2006 and continued on to get an Associate's degree from ACC. After graduating from ACC, he worked at Trustco bank in South Glens Falls for a short time until he realized that he had to follow his dreams. Five years ago, he decided he wanted to open his own business and that is when Devocean Watersports was born. He managed to put together a great team of employees that helped him with boat charters and jet-ski tours on Lake George, out of the hotel "Twin Birches." Thomas loved his business and put everything he had into it. His smile and enthusiasm was infectious to everyone he met along his journey in life. He really enjoyed teaching people how to do things that was out of their norm. Thomas also made many friends down in Marathon within the keys were he went every winter, enjoying life to the fullest. He was predeceased by his father Thomas P. Jones IV. Thomas is survived by his mother Denise Jones, his brother Patrick Jones, his grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bowen and two uncles Christopher and Bob Bowen. Family and friends may call from 10 am to 12 noon on Monday, August 29, 2022 at Regan Denny Stafford Funeral Home, 53 Quaker Rd., Queensbury, NY. Burial will follow at Pine View Cemetery, Queensbury, NY. A celebration of Thomas' life will continue at the Highland Country Club immediately following the burial. Please no suits, wear flip flops and don't forget to bring stickers. https://www.sbfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Thomas-Jones-123/#!/Obituary ------ Tom, May You Rest In Eternal Peace. I always, and I mean ALWAYS, had a great time jet skiing with you every summer since you opened your business in 2017. My most sincere condolences to your family and friends. Until we meet again...

    Say for 6 hours friendly people not a fish nothing to offer sorry for the long morning. Hopped out…read moreof the boat right at noon and have a good day. Get fishing is a gamble but better off catching a whale bait for $60 and ave the time and money.

    If you are looking to watch someone fish for 4 hours, then this is the charter for you!…read more When we first boarded the boat we were instructed to take a seat, JJ took us to the fishing spot and started to set up (at this point apart from telling us to sit down he had not spoken to us, just drove boat and ate his fruit) After a few mins we all got up (myself, husband and 2 teenagers) to join JJ at the fishing rods, we were told to sit back down. This is where we sat for 4 hours!!! We were only allowed to get up to reel in a fish and take a picture taken. 1 person get up whilst the other 3 stayed seated. My daughter LOVES fishing, has been on many fishing charters, fished in many different countries, on lakes, rivers, sea. She was VERY excited about this charter, it was the highlight of her trip, she left her seat TWICE!!! My husband asked if we could participate more (net in fish etc) to which JJ replied "No, I have been doing this 26 years, I do not teach' JJ ran around for 4 hours, manning 4 rods, muttering things as he ran past us to change lures, muttering as he looked out at the lake so we could not hear him. After 2 hours both teenagers were so bored they started looking at their phones (by this point both kids had only left their seat 1 time each) In 4 hours, my son only left his seat 3 times (total of maybe 3-4 minutes) My daughter left her seat twice (total of 2-3 minutes) my husband twice and I did not leave my seat at all. We caught 5 fish in total (4 too small to keep) how many fish we caught was irrelevant to us; we wanted a family fishing trip! not a sit down and watch someone else fish. When my husband tried to talk to JJ when we were back at the dock JJ was aggressive and blamed us for not being interested!!! Would NOT recommend this charter!!!

When we came back and we told them they didn't accept it even though we paid for it we had to deal with a broken tube. We couldn't enjoy our tubing.since one of the Handel was broken.they even didn't give us a refund for that.

    I left traumatized and will never get on another boat again. Make sure you bring a bucket to bail…read morethe water out. Now looking back there were signs all over saying bad idea, starting at the terrible counter service. We called the day prior asking about renting a 10 passenger pontoon, lady said sure no problem we always keep a few extra on hand for walk ins. We did not want to reserve because we were unsure of the weather and rain. Forecast said no rain we decided to go out. We get there and the front desk says no 10 passenger we can either do a 13 for extra cost or 8 passenger deck boat. We discuss and decide the 13 passenger. At the desk now the woman says , in a span of less than five minutes the other counter girl allows some one with a reservation to change their reservation to the 13 passenger and rents that out to them. Okay so now we have no choice but to get the 8 passenger as grey clouds are rolling in. We ask the older front desk woman if it's okay to go out, have you checked the weather. Her response, no, you'll be fine no worries. Gives us a map thoroughly explains where to go, where we can anchor etc. We get told to go wait out on the deck and someone will help us. The waters choppy and boats swaying. A young maybe 16 year old girl gives us a quick lesson on how to turn on the boat, steering, reverse and where the life jackets are. First attempt to throttle the boat wouldn't move, made several attempts and the girl giggled and pushed us out. Now we are out, in this boat choppy water. 2-3 foot chop if not more. It was like the little engine that could struggling just to maintain direction. It was almost impossible to steer and would not go more than 5 knots full throttle. Less than a half hour out and us just struggling, the boat began filling with water. We pulled open the base cabin that contained the life jackets and it too was also flooded. BY PURE LUCK we screamed over to 2 coast guard friends on a jet ski. She hopped on our boat, and put 2 other people on the jet ski. Literally taxied people to the dock and came back for more to lighten the load on the boat. She attempted to turn on what ever pump is underneath a boat to help push out water and it did not work. Now with the wind whipping and waves crashing on this boat that can hardly run, she drove it back maybe another 200 Yards to the dock as it swung wildly in the water. The the dock children laughed as she attempted to pull it up (literally kids running the dock). One of the workers opened a compartment by the engine and just shook his head. They asked if we wanted another boat. Is that a joke. It was like a movie scene from the end of jaws where it's just floating items all over in the bottom of the boat. I had an adrenaline rush/panic attack, can't even describe it, that I would never want to experience again. My Coastie friend watched as they pulled the boat out. She said they never put the plugs back on the boat so essentially from the time we got on the boat, we were sitting ducks, sinking, she said maybe a half hour left before the boat sank. They at first attempted to tell us well you were at max capacity that doesn't mean anything, you put us on that boat and said it was okay and safe to go out. It was by no means safe, the life jackets were from the 90's literally. When they pulled the boat out of the water and it drained for over 25 minutes. They refunded our money as they continued to put other people out on the water. During our struggle to come in we saw a pontoon boat almost flip from a wave, irony the people that got the 13 passenger. We filed a police report. There has to be some kind of standard. This is not it. What I learned later, from one of my friends a reporter from Albany was that people consistently die on Lake George from boating accidents. That could have been us. First time in Lake George, I had this fancy idea to relax on the water. Worlds dumbest idea as well a paper map... on a wet boat. Smh.
