The Mount appeared to operate only on the week-end -- and from my views of her sailing she seemed to be at reduced speed. The Doris & Sophie were also out and about and again, seemed to be at reduced speeds...... however, as noted above -- I too feel the Doris & Sophie throw a much larger wake than the Mount and from first hand experiance I can tell you the two smaller ships were certainly NOT at no wake speed -- which I too found a little hypocritical. I cannot address what they did within 600' as I did not see any of them in that situation first hand

There is nothing on their website, to indicate the Mount is not running a regular daily schedule. I saw her on Saturday and Sunday this weekend. I was not equipped to judge her speed, but she was making a wake in right next to FL 1. I also saw Sophie making a wake near Jolly on Saturday.

From a boat, the Mount's wake is much easier to take than the Sophie or Doris, or even a big flat bottomed Carver. The Mount is more a swell than a breaking wave. The wake isn't any smaller just smoother.

The mount's wake is suprisingly small.

Default no it wasn't going slow at all

the mount wasn't going any slower then it normally does, we were going through the new no wake zone by govs. island and the mount did not slow down at all, we had to fly out of there so we didn't get hit!!

Yes, it does. That's because the Mount has a displacement hull, and moves through the water, not over it (planing hull) like most recreational boats.
