Just wanted to put in my 2 cents worth. Last Friday (early evening) we went to the Pier 19 store for ice cream. As we were docking, a Baja boat (wish I could remember a more exact description) came flying into the docking area causing all the boats to bounce fiercely against the dock. He then tied up leaving his lines all over the dock for others (including the small children with us) to trip over. After he picked up his passenger and the luggage, he backed out and gunned the engine to what appeared to be full speed immediately. Absolutely no consideration for "wake speed" near the docks or other boats waiting to dock. I'm not saying all Baja owners are like this but these actions do tend make me remember the bad instead of the good.
