I was think'n, this is a sailboat, you are a motorboat, therefore I have the right of way. As it continued on its course, it got closer, and I quickly started to rethink my situation. This actually happened on two different occasions.
So, where's the Marine Patrol when you really need them?  |
Many of us asked the same question last year. Many, many times. Perhaps you could consult APS and he'd tell you that you were in no danger, since the velocity of the boat wake was not very high.
BTW, was riding the wake thrilling?
