Subject: Resume safe speed sign?
From: (Greg)
Would people understand if I had a sign on my boat that said resume safe
speed?
I was thinking something like the "resume safe normal operation" done with
green graphics.
I go slow a lot and my neighbors like to go fast. It seems that when they
pass
me they always give me a "courtesy slow down" which puts them in a plow and
rolls me. Waving them on doesn't help. How do you say, "Maintain your plane"?
Actually I think if it got common, a simple flag would work. Maybe a green
circle on a white field?
There are some folks who do know about boats and pass at speed but they are
not
the rule..
I take it using the radio doesn't work. So I guess making a flag/sign of some
kind might. But I think you'd have to spell it out for them.
Because you've got to be the first person I've seen who's trying to get people
to speed up as they go passed them. :-)
