I Hope he stays in the states from now on. Yes, we Canadians can be real
pricks about little things like lack of respect for other folks' property.
Now, I am on a river mooring and the same stuff goes by every day. Too
bad gas doesn't go so high that theses idiots really take a concern for
economical speed, and small wakes. They are the same thing.
I mean, what's the hurry, you are on your boat, does it not feel good if
you aren't burning twice as much gas as you need to to get somewhere at
7 instead of 9 knots? We get the same 4 cigarrette boats going up and
down every weekend. I don't mind them much, as their wakes on plane
aren't much, even if the noise is a real pollution problem. I bought my
place for peace and quiet.
Prosecute! Publicise! Hit one for the Gipper.
I still think getting a perfect score at "wake unbombing" should be a
requirement for a powerboat license. Any boat with a high horse power
to weight ratio capable of big wakes should be taxed and harrassed out
of business, and a fund established to repair shore damage (I have a few
ducks) and other property damage. The only waves we get are from
pleasure craft wake, commercial vessels take care to minimise fuel burn,
and that minimises wake.
Yanks or Canucks, no difference. Horsepower to brain ratio
is usually inverse.
Neighbors and I keep talking about a compressed air
cannon and dog dump.
I've got the pipe, compressor, ball valves and two BIG dogs.
Who knows, one hot day, fridge full of Blue.
Boom Boom. Out go the lights.
