What I find striking is his attitude of other boaters having to deal
with his wakes as he has the bigger boat. That alone speaks loudly of
his boating courtesies.

I see boaters like him all the time on Lake Erie. I end up giving
them the 1 finger salute.


Whoa.

Let's back up a bit.

Most of my boating experience has been on small boats .... to me meaning
28-30 feet or less.

That experience supports the fact that there are more "hot dog" weekend
warrior types in the small boat group that operate their boats in an
irresponsible manner than there are in the "big" boat category.

Sorry.

I am only speaking of my experiences and what Wayne has said about his
disrespecting other boaters in close proximity, especially those with
boats smaller than his, regarding the wakes he makes. I believe his
attitude is "Deal with It, I have the Bigger Boat".


In my opinon, Wayne has not been "disrepectful" of anybody, although I can
completely understand why some may take his comments that way. To me his
comments have described very realistic boating conditions and situations.
They may not be common to inland lakes or near shore big water (ocean and
Great Lakes) situations, but they are certainly accurate to offshore ocean
boating.

He's having fun playing with your mind, 'tis all.
