Default Which excursion boat "zipped" past you...

I even had an encounter with one of the excursion boats that zipped past me in a no wake zone and came so close that I had to reverse my engines!

Somehow, I gt the feeling that the mandatory boating safety course isn't working all that well....

and I hope you filed an official complaint to the Crusie Line!

I didn't realize any of the excursion boats on Winni were capable of zipping...I know they throw big wakes - was a favorite past time of my friends and I to take our 15 hp aluminium boats and run them through the wakes of Sophie and Doris!! They were cruising with their big ole wakes - but I would not say they were zippy...
