They know what they are doing when they will not even turn around on the

Some people roll me, and some get rolled by me. It's part of boating
and being on the water. I am constantly amazed at the hue and cry
raised by large seaworthy sailboats when they encounter a wake. It is
not written in stone anywhere that the water will always be flat.



You're certainly correct, and most of the time a simple wake from a boat is
no big deal. However, boaters are responsible for their wakes, so if they
cause damage or injury, they would be responsible for it (even if they don't
know that).
