I swear, it's about the only time I've ever been surprized by the size and depth of a wake - had just about enough time to quarter the three waves or I would have taken a ton of water aboard the Ranger. Talk about a wake. :) Maybe 10-15 years ago, one of those sub bow waves capsized a commercial fishing boat near the Kings Bay sub base in Georgia, and my memory on the event is vague, but I think there were drowning deaths. The sub captain, an arrogant ass, said something like "deal with it." He's driving a bait boat now. I doubt that. The subs that use to base at Mare Island always had CG escorts. And the bow wave exceeds anything else that I have ever witnessed as to wakes. And I fish near a couple of the offshore channels to SF bay. You can doubt it all you wish. It was covered on the TV news in Jax, and there were a couple of articles in the area newspapers. I doubt he is driving a date barge. Or a bait barge. |
