Spoken like a true powerboater. While that may make

sense to you,

powerboaters, and I've never rolled anyone."


The problem is that many sailors think that all

powerboaters leaving a
wake are irresponsible just because the wake

inconveniences them in
some way, and don't even get me started on sailboats who

expect the
right-of-way while under power, or who suddenly tack in

front of a
moving powerboat and demand the right-of-way.



Yes, it must be so difficult for you to turn that wheel a
bit. Do you have limp wrists?


Fortunately most of
them seem to understand that five blasts on the air horn

is a danger
signal.


Oh brother, I've seen this type before, blasting through a
crowd of boats, air horns and all.
