Friday, August 15th.....12 noon...
Coming out of Paugus Bay, toward channel (what a current in there, by the way) and was well past the "No Wake" marker....probably 35/40 yards or so (over 100 feet) , and a 26' red and white Crownline bow rider PASSES ME! And there is a decent line of boats....he is actually going along at a decent clip...himself and two passengers aboard. I shout out to him, "Do you realize you are in a no wake zone?" A fair question...maybe he really does not know.
His reply? "Don't worry about me". So I give him the benefit of the doubt...maybe he is in some type of an emergency situation, and needs to get to Channell or Thurston's in a hurry....but alas, no, he gets in line, and heads off toward Governor's.
I guess he saw the signs, he figured, "well, I don't think anyone died, so there must be 'no wake' ".

Between Memorial Day and labor Day is 3 PM Friday to 3 PM Sunday. It is like a zoo.
