Cruise Ship Runs Aground in Atlantic ICW - Obstruction Blocks Traffic
"Eisboch" wrote in message news:L-
In my limited experience traveling the ICW I saw no
"intentional" waking
of a slower or smaller vessel by the larger boats, with
one exception. A
large sportsfish blew by us and others at full speed,
ignoring all speed
zones. I heard on the radio that he was coming and to
watch out. He was
caught further down the ICW about an hour later.
So, with your admitted ''limited experience'' , you admit to
witnessing a stinkpotter waking other boats.
Just think how many you'd see if you had some experience.
To be truthful, I saw more sailboat operators running on
their engine,
ignoring the "rules of the road".
Wake them !!!
I see more crazy powerboat operation in a single weekend
at the entrance to
Scituate harbor during the summer than anything I
witnessed on the ICW and
the biggest offenders are in smaller, outboard or I/O
powered boats.
You shulda waked them all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
