I grew up boating on the eastern end of Lake Ontario and have seen a

I'm lucky to be here.
What really fun is when the natural waves from from two directions at
once,
along with a couple of wakes from pea-brains who pass within 100' of
my
boat.

One of these days....I'm tellin' ya...I'm gonna bring a .45-70 out
there
with me. "Officer - I swear it looked like a buffalo". :-)

When we were along the ICW in northern Florida, not a day would go by
without a couple of overstuffed "cruisers" wallowing on by, tossing off
absolutely huge wakes that would wash up and over the marshes, erode the
shorelines, rock everyone's floating dock and, on occasion, flip some
poor fisherman's little boat along the edges. But we got our revenge, at
least with some of them: just north of St. Augustine Inlet, there was a
lovely sandbar that lurked just a couple of feet beneath the surface
except at dead low tide and managed to give a couple of the oblivious
"capitanos" a jolt.
Seeing boats run aground was a thrill for you, huh? Well, Harry, for most
people, that would be the sign of a psychological disorder, but for
you...well, it's just a 'foible'.

Actually yes at times. As long as now one is injured. Couple of years ago,
bunch of us anchored up at Verona where the Feather river enters the
Sacramento river. Group in an about 22' I/O cuts right though the anchored
up flotilla and slides about 200' across a sandbar that is about 400' yards
wide at the mouth of the Feather, and has about 6" of water flowing over it.
We all had a laugh and no one offered a tow. His Karma got run over
quickly.



Anyone here who frequents the ICW in north Florida knows the bar of
which I speak. It's immediately north of St. Augustine Inlet, and if you
are heading north towards the "new bridge" there and don't stay close to
the eastern shore, you'll hit it:

If you're not going fast, it's a soft landing. At low tide, a lot of us
used to beach on it and play volleyball, especially if the fishing was slow.

Has Herring indicated when he's getting his boat?

Have you lost the ability to ask a direct question? Do you need to be
ridiculous to support your contention that you have folks 'filtered'?
