Default 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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
