Re: boat licenses
"Approaching another boat, each passes on the right. Overtaking another boat, pass on the left. ... snip ...we were caught in a huge cross wake made from several large boats who never slowed down near our tiny craft. The waves loomed towards us like giant pyramids. "
Passing port to port, and it's cousin, staying to the right in a "channel" is a lost sensibility I fear. I do wonder about the boats that day though. Often I see Capt B slow down, just not to headway speed. Now the boat is at mushing speed, and generating a larger wake than it would have if Capt B had left it on plane. Good intentions perhaps, just defeated by low IQ. You have to laugh if only to keep from raiding the mailman's arsenal and handing out some street justice.
ps - We all remember Capt B from last year. As this season progresses we'll all have to post an updated Capt B sighting journal ....
