It took me awhile to understand it as well, duh. I know how he feels, and in many respects I can sympathize with it. Waaaaaay back my dad used to shake his friendly fist at the loud boats and the cruisers with their huge wakes. This was well over twenty years ago.

With the advent of development, greedy towns that wanted to build stuff, taxes became the holy grail. Unfortunately, the trend began in the 60's and never stopped. I guess that's why I was always a big fan of boating at night. Far more peaceful and quiet, with gentle cooler breezes. It amazes me how scared people are of their own shadow at night. Not enough true mariners left I guess.
