Default I also agree

I understand that some boats may need to create a ripple to maintain steerage. These ripples do nothing more than make a little sound of waves hitting the hull, and do little to move the hull of my 25 ft bowrider up and down. But when the wake created equals a wave of a foot or more, and the boat pitches up and down because of it, it becomes a wanton disregard for the no wake zone. We see that daily in our no wake area in Alton Bay inside the bandstand area. Fortunately, it is not a particularly tight navigational area.

I do understand that going through the channel causes us to take the current into play, and that speed must be adjusted accordingly, but only by a small amount. It is frustrating, and is the reason that we avoid going into Paugus Bay unless it is a weekday, and generally off season.
