Power boaters and their wakes

. .. "Capt. JG" wrote in message ... We've had a similar situation happen in the Marina Bay channel, which is quite narrow. It's really a two-lane channel, and very unforgiving as far as bottom goes on the right, returning side. (The other side is the edge of a building/pier.) Coming in one day, I had a PB pass on my port, while another sailboat was coming out. We were already on the edge of the channel making room for the on-coming SB. The other SB saw what was happening and moved to his right as far as possible, and fortunately, the PB got by us, with a big, but manageable wake. Then, not knowing what the f*ck he was doing, went even further to the right and ran aground in the mud. Sweet justice. Then, a couple of minutes later, another PB did the same thing. I think the first PB must called the second for help, since the pretty much went there directly after zooming past us and you could see he was on his cell phone. More sweet justice... they ran aground also. There was a Sea Tow boat coming out from the marina who saw the whole thing. As he went by us, I could see he was laughing. Could you see the Capt and crew, were they all wearing their ''Eat My Wake'' t-shirts? They are very popular here on the east coast. SBV Heh... we waved and smiled as we went by... -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
