Cruise Ship Runs Aground in Atlantic ICW - Obstruction Blocks Traffic

Stop splitting hairs, Reggie. At really low speeds, my boat leaves a practically flat wake that isn't going to cause any small boats nearby any grief. And how often do you run at really low speed? We thought you were on the fast track, getting out to those fish as quickly as possible. Virtually everyone I know with a boat that will run at planing speeds can't wait to get up and moving because the ride is so miserable at slow speed. |

Virtually everyone I know with a boat that will run at planing speeds can't wait to get up and moving because the ride is so miserable at slow speed. Obviously your circle is filled with jerks. We spend some time exploring the smaller rivers and creeks around here, and when we do, slow speeds are the way to go. My Parker rides just fine at slow speeds, and at those speeds, you can barely hear the engine and there is no exhaust smell. It's great being out in all that air, just a few feet above the water. You see things you simply cannot see if you're on an RV barge. Of course, you wouldn't be able to take that oversized, diesel-smelling barge into some of the waters we frequent... |

But "choppy" is a lot different than the huge waves some semi-conscious a**holes create with their boat wakes near small boats. They are probably not semiconscious at all, just faced with a flotilla of small boats spread out in front of them while they are running where they belong. On open water small boats should have no expectation of wake avoidance. If you go out there, accept the risks without whinning. |

Is that how you operate? Thank God his type is only a small percentage of real boaters. This little thread has been very revealing about Wayne. |
