I guess "zip" is kind'o relative.
Since it was flat calm, I was idling along as slowly as my boat will go (3.7 mph - I checked my GPS), which was all I needed for steerage way. I didn't so much mind him passing me as I did getting cut off!
As for filing a complaint, I did so directly with him - via both VHF and the five horn blast "bonehead seranade".
Basically, all it got me was a dirty look out the pilot house window. With no damage or injury involved, I figured there wasn't much sense in a flatlander filing a formal complaint against a local.
And, boy do you have it right about wake size from the Sophie and the Doris. When I see the Sophie going by my slip, I've learned to sit down and hang on; I can't imagine hitting that wake at speed in a small aluminum boat (and, don't want to!
)
