Tolerance is the key. Stuck behind a 2 stroke is a self induced problem. Stop and wait till they are far enough away so the painful smoke is gone. There will be plenty of others that will be happy to take your position. There are fewer and fewer every year (thankfully!).
Take a holistic view of the lake. Water becomes turbulent if you have 10,000 boats cruising the lake in a weekend. One cannot expect to eliminate cross waves. If it is windy and you have a smaller boat, do not expect a pleasant cruise to the Weirs and complain or point fingers. The process of buying a bigger boat is not only due to the ride factor though. There are personal values and success criteria that drive the upgrade process. I would not want to place my values on others.
The statement of Courtesy to others is so true and if all consciously practiced it many of the charges would never need to be discussed.
It is getting warmer and I am hoping for a great year! I had new 4 blade props installed after the season and I hope to get better slow speed control as well reduce the time to get out of the hole.
