wish all you speed limit advocates could be with me here in Ft Myers.The Intercoastal Waterway (ICU) on the Caloosahatchee River is a direct line from the Atlantic in Palm Beach to Ft Myers on the gulf coast.The speed limit is 25 mph and the only danger is from the 40' to 100' boats that throw up an enormous wake at that speed.Two of them,meeting in a narrow channel will bring up a 4 to 6 foot chop that will swamp a smaller boat that doesn't have sense to get out of the way....
Gee what a well thought out post. Your are right I think that there is no usage speed in narrow channel and those stupid smaller boats are most assuredly at fault fro not getting out the way. No way are the larger crafts responsible for their wakes and damage that they create. Hopefully NH will wake up and abolish no wake areas especially in the Weirs channel. We would not want any large wakes capsizing any idiot who does not have the common sense and decency to get out of the way.
