I was assuming she didn't see me through the Plexiglas so I came to a complete stop from 30 mph.

She zips down a curtain and was screaming at me that this is a channel so this is a no wake zone? I politely told her that it is not designated as a no wake zone and only when one is 150' or less to another boat. She insist this is a no wake zone and that from now on to proceed at headway speed. She than proceed to tell another boater coming through the channel. I took off.

Humor me, has the law change regarding this passage?
I'm going to take a wild guess that someone has recently bought a place on Mark Island and doesn't like boat traffic... I go through this same route from time to time when we go to Meredith, thanks for the warning!
