Re: Boat Wakes and Small Boats
A similar situation for me the other day...
I'm coming back into my Marina which is a 1/2 mile long fairly narrow channel with pretty shallow water to either side of the channel. This is not a no wakes zone so I and pretty much everyone else runs this channel at speed...
In the distance I see a guy in a Kayak who is sort of clinging to one of the marker buoys and fishing.... This is the next to the last set of buoys before I get into the Marina so as I get closer, I have a decision to make... Do I stay at speed and wake him or down off plane so I don't??
Well, I decided to come down off plane and slow down way before him so I didn't wake him but thought to myself that's not a good place for a Kayak to be fishing....
Had that been further from where I'd eventually have to slow down to enter the Marina, would I or should I have slowed down??
