Nicely said Eki. The worst damage I have seen through all of this was Monday, May 22 when there wasn't a boat out there but the wind kept 2 foot waves coming in and bashing my dock and shoreline all day long. Not much anyone can do about that.

The Mount goes by our place as well but the wake is negligible and did no harm this weekend.

As for the 600 foot NWZ, it seemed to me that most boaters complied but it didn't matter one way or the other. The one exception was Captain Bonehead in a 30 foot cruiser who, I'm sure, thought he was complying by plowing through the water at about 15 knots maybe 250 feet out. In his case the rule probably did more harm than good. We had to run for cover when his wake hit the shores but if he had been on plane we probably wouldn't have noticed him or his wake.
