You *ARE* responsible for your wake!


It's part of boating and being on the water.

It's a part of BAD boating, and being on the water with
ignorant, arrogant power boaters.


Nonsense. Have you ever seen the wake from a freighter or

fast tug
boat? If so you'll never complain about sportfish or

motoryachts.



Big ships and tugs don't pass within 20 feet at full speed
like some stinkpotters do.





Exactly. In fact, the tugs going along as powerboats and not working are
quite courteous. They get it. I've been on the ocean and had a tanker change
course to go around us... following the rules as he should have. We hailed
him and thanked him.
