Not true at all. I am saying that if you take a small boat onto open
water that you need to be able to deal with all of the hazzards out
there. Wakes are one of those hazzards and they travel a long way.

expectation of wake avoidance. If you go out there, accept the risks
without whinning."

Wayne is absoutely right. If you have no expectations of wake
avoidance in open water.

Anybody with experience in areas where commercial traffic is heavy
knows that.

Who was talking about commercial traffic?

The Chesapeake Bay has a huge amount of commercial traffic. Head boats,
party boats, car carriers, container ships, LNG ships.
