Now wait just a minute here.

Capt JG was in a 32 ft, seaworthy, ocean going sailboat, in open
water. Why should he be concerned about a 2 or 3 ft wake? Let's get
real. A wake is a wave by any other name. If you are worried about
small waves in a 32 ft sailboat better to stay home. Power boats
leave wakes (waves). It's a fact and has nothing to do with brain
cells, moral fiber or any other personal characteristic.
