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

Hopefully, this policy will spread. Watch out, stoopids.



Silly and specious argument.

I betting that I could (in my car) speed past you and other moving and
parked vehicles with no injuries or physical damage to you or your
vehicle. You might not even notice.

That is not the case with a boat's wake.

EVERY captain is LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE for his/her wake......



Dear Gene:
Nothing you posted refutes the information I provided in my original
message. In fact, you provided information which supports what I said. Here.
I'll edit your message so it's less cluttered. Everything within the plus
signs is your new message:

What the cops are doing makes perfect sense. The signs say "No Wake Zone".
That means your wake can't enter that zone. It doesn't say your boat has to
be in the zone while making a wake in order for you to get in trouble.

Some boats make a wake that's still pretty hefty 200 feet later. If you say
you haven't noticed this, you're a silly person, and due for an eye exam.
