NWZs exist to protect the safety of the boating public in narrow, congested passages - not to protect somebody's shorefront property.
That said, I try to be extra courteous to shorefront property owners by slowing to no wake speeds well before the start of a NWZ, staying at those speeds until I'm well past the end of the NWZ, and, to the greatest extent possible, staying way the heck offshore if I'm up on plane.
I know what a nuisance large wakes can be; where my slip is located, I get hit with some real "doozeys" sometimes
and my boat
is my shorefront property!
But, if I was caught out on the lake with kids aboard and lightning licking at my heels,
and it wouldn't endanger people in another boat, well, gangway, comin' through!
I'd be cussing myself as a bonehead for getting caught out in a thunderstorm,
but
getting those kids to safety is "Job #1" and protecting somebody's property is so far down the priority list it isn't even on the same page.
Sorry if it offends some of you, but that's how it has to be, and I wouldn't expect somebody else to worry about bouncing my boat around in its slip either under those circumstances!
