Proper interpretation of no-wake rules
At the outlet (to Lake Ontario) of the bay where I launch my yacht, there's
a marina to one side of the outlet, and the public launch on the other side. About 200' further into the bay, a no-wake zone begins. Quite a few stoopids leaving the bay will approach the no-wake signs at full speed, which means their wakes cause as much trouble as if they'd just kept going at full speed. I guess the cops finally figured this out. Yesterday, they had 3 boats (one CG, actually), and they were flagging down stoopids about 200-300 feet before the no-wake zone. The guy at the boat launch said they're issuing tickets as if the stoopids were already in the zone, their logic being that your wake doesn't change much in 100 feet, especially if it's huge to begin with. They don't care if your boat's in the no-wake zone. Doesn't matter because your wake will be there shortly. Hopefully, this policy will spread. Watch out, stoopids. |
