No whine before its time.

One man's ripple is another man's tsunami. "Waking a smaller boat"
implies an intentional malicious action, and I don't think much, if
any, of that goes on. I'd be the first to call someone to task if I
suspected it.

That said, wakes happen. Get over it, buy a bigger boat, or stay away
from where the big boys play.


Geez...what an arrogant ass you are.

Harry, there are some people on the ICW that you would have to drift by in
neutral to satisfy. Most of them are sailboaters and local fishermen in jon
boats sitting at anchor in the middle of the channel. On my trip, being the
first time, I had studied up on all the rules and courtesies expected on the
ICW. After a couple of days I realized that when others don't respect them
and give you a one-finger salute instead ..... wake 'em! :-)

We lived in a house along the ICW for a number of years, and I spent a
lot of time fishing along its banks and in its creeks. I saw - literally
- hundreds of guys in large boats tossing up huge wakes and totally
oblivious to where they were in time and space. I saw all manner of
small boats swamped by these wakes, and I've seen the watercops chase
after the slobs whose boats caused the damage.

But that's neither here nor there. What does stand out is Wayne's
arrogance.
