So since you own a car you're probably going to speed so the cops should
come and write you a ticket each morning?

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.





Maybe it will make the "stoopids" a bit more courteous. On the ICW, I
think "yachtsters" with stern heavy pleasure barges throwing up huge
wakes ought to be subject to a fullisade eight pounders from shoreside
cannon batteries.
