At the outlet (to Lake Ontario) of the bay where I launch my yacht,
there's a marina to one side of the outlet, and the public launch on the
other side. About 200' further into the bay, a no-wake zone begins. Quite
a few stoopids leaving the bay will approach the no-wake signs at full
speed, which means their wakes cause as much trouble as if they'd just
kept going at full speed. I guess the cops finally figured this out.
Yesterday, they had 3 boats (one CG, actually), and they were flagging
down stoopids about 200-300 feet before the no-wake zone. The guy at the
boat launch said they're issuing tickets as if the stoopids were already
in the zone, their logic being that your wake doesn't change much in 100
feet, especially if it's huge to begin with. They don't care if your
boat's in the no-wake zone. Doesn't matter because your wake will be
there shortly.

Hopefully, this policy will spread. Watch out, stoopids.




What about the boat passing by the the inlet with no intention of entering
it? Can his wake get him a ticket too?


Not exactly possible in this place. I'll have to snap a picture next time
I'm there. On a busy day, it's a circus even when everyone's obeying the
law.
