That depends on how they go boating. A lot of people enjoy
being the objects of attention, so they get very loud flashy
boats and operate in such a way that they interfere with
other people's enjoyment. Other people have short attention
spans and little tolerance for following procedure. Both of
these groups of people should be in a video game parlor, not
out on the water. We'd all be happier & safer.

Not at all.
I'm saying that people who want to jump up & down screaming
"LOOK AT ME-E-E-EEEE!!" should not expect a boat to satisfy
their urges. Attempts to do so will only lead to frustration
and will also irritate (not to mention endanger) other boaters.




What of the sailor that thinks it's a good idea to try going in/out of Ego
Alley whilst undersail?

Not particularly a good idea, however I have done it many
times in a boat that HAD NO MOTOR AT ALL so clearly you
cannot expect everybody to go around in a stinkpot just to
suit your own convenience.





You're basically chanting the same, tired elitist nonsense sailors have
tried using for years.

Not at all. You're just PO'd because I am pointing out that
your type of sport is wasteful, noisy, burns money (althoug
sailing is not exactly cheap, at least it doesn't throw
dollars out the exhaust pipe), and pollutes both the air &
water. Not to mention requiring a higher level of attention
to safety (which is often absent). And other than the skill
needed to operate safely, it requires almost no brain power
at all.


Fortunately the powerboaters can simply throttle up
and leave that behind.


Which takes exactly how much skill & IQ?? My point exactly.
