Sure - just ask Larry C from Peggy's Cove - we were in his families green boat and did some nice wake jumps and close cuts to the Mount. Big wake! It sure was FUN!!!!
He was 11 and I was 12. (1962) The MP were very nice and even gave us an escort back to Larry's dock. BTW the age to drive a boat with a 40HP back then was 12 and Larry was driving.
I believe I was in the Puddy Tat on at least one occassion that it was jumping the Mounts wake. I think they added Marine Patrol to cruise with the Mount when in Alton Bay due all the wake jumping and cutting close to the bow of the Mount. Could be that you were the reason JHB.
