Yes, there is a Pink Lady, and a smaller Pink Lady II, and Island Lady,
running multiple daily trips out of Boothbay Harbor.
http://www.mainewhales.com/d_cf_fleet.htm Website says 78-100 feet. And
one hell of a wake, when they are moving - about the biggest wake we see,
far bigger than the tugs or destroyers.... of course we haven't seen
Floridian yet.

Is the Pink lady still there? There is a party boat here in Fort
Lauderdale with Boothbay registration with that exact name.

Thanks for the heads-up, Roger - we'll keep an eye out. Makes me
shudder to think of being out in a kayak when that guy is in Maine.

It would be nice if more people considered the consequences of their
wakes. We have a handful of large vessels, such as the "Pink Lady" out of
Boothbay, that can make life pretty exciting sometimes. One neighbor
had his 17' outboard wrecked, while on the dock. Of course no one was
watching it at that moment, so there was no "proof" that the only large
vessel to pass by was at fault...

It is entirely possible that there will be children or less-experienced
adults in small boats, or along the shoreline; on a calm day some of the
wakes exceed what we see in the stormiest conditions. Vessels and
experience should be appropriate for the conditions you are likely to run
into, but this doesn't mean we must all be prepared for a 4' wake at all
times.

Roger, with all due respect, a large wake should be regarded as just
another wave in a seaworthy and decent sized boat such as yours. It
is unreasonable to expect people to slow down except in a confined
area where you could lose control.


Agreed and I am not a wake nazi. But we're talking here about the
wake within the first two or three waves as a result of a vessel
passing far closer than is prudent. No danger but it took some
finesse in those conditions to get through without getting soaked.
Actually, the wind blanketing of the close approach was more of an
issue. I can coax a boat through just about anything but I could have
been one of many people out there that could have gotten knocked down
or backed trying to get the boat moving again.
