Never said that.

You have missed my point somewhere along the line, obviously a failure
to communicate clearly on my part.

This "wake" business is not about "big boat vs small boat" or "who has
the bigger boat". That's not the point. The point I was trying to
make, and have apparently not yet succeded, is that wakes (and waves)
are part of being out there. Wakes (and waves) travel a long way from
their point of origin, and it is unreasonable to expect that no wakes
will ever be created. Contrary to the opinion of some, no one is out
there creating wakes just to make life miserable for others. And also
contrary to opinion, not all wakes are created by "large" boats, and
"large" is always relative to what you happen to be in at the moment.

As you may have correctly surmised, I have little sympathy for "wake
whiners".


Wayne,
He knows what you said, what is saying about you is the exact same thing
he used to say about Don and Harry. If you keep this up, he is going to
be your best buddy real soon.
