Thumbs down Big Cruisers And Their Wakes

Just today my missus, son, and a friend were returning from a trip down to Alton Bay to visit a friend and a Carver came through the passage between Pig and Lockes Island at mush-speed. We were trying to get into Smith Cove before the afternoon thunderstorm hit and we had to throttle way back (we didn't want to get airborne!) and endure a soaking from the wake that came splashing over the bow. We didn't get nearly that wet from the rain shower we passed through not 10 minutes before.

The fellow driving the boat (I refuse to say he was piloting because he was just futzing around) was oblivious to the effect his wake was having on the other traffic trying to get in and out of Glendale and Smith's Cove.

Some folks are just clueless. What's worse, some choose to stay that way.
