Bayside, Key Largo area. Buttonwood Bay and thereabouts.

Challenge me at your own risk. I will, no doubt, leave floundering in my
wake any sailboat up to and including 32-footers.


The term is 'foundering' unless you are a fish.



Negative. It's easy to tell you are no sailor.

In the above context, floundering means struggling while foundering means
sinking. While my blue water Coronado 27 is, indeed, blindingly fast there
is no way her wake is large enough to sink even your typical, flimsy,
oil-canning Macgregor 26.
