Add last nice weekend of the season

[Golfman25]

To the list of times to avoid. First time in 20+ years I got waked. Two of us coming out of the harbor. I am doing fast idle, about 1000 rpm’s. It’s a bit choppy some I‘m seeing how the dog is reacting. Goy behind me throttles up and passes while he’s still getting on plane. Probably 50-75 feet away. I turn into the wake, but still get tossed around pretty good. WTF. Guy couldn’t fast idle past me before he throttles up. I won’t mention all the sail boats and the small runabouts pointing right at me in the channel.

What type of boat?

 

[Golfman25]

30 something 4 winns. A dock or two away from me.

I had this happen to me last year. No doubt a Covid Warrior. 40 something foot cruiser in a narrow channel who couldn't be bothered to do a respectful pass of the stand-on vessel.

Last weekend was incredible weather-wise. I feel like there were more boaters out than on July 4. It was insane.

People know what's coming

I'm generally very respectful of sailboaters but labor day weekend they set up their racetrack buoys right in front of the mouth of the river here in Rochester. I made a turn to port, dropped into neutral for one, then the next guy proceeds to head straight at me. I throttled up a bit and cut as hard as I could to port to get out of his way and he still threw his hands up in the air because of the wake.

I couldn't help myself but to scream back "I bet that hurt less than getting run over" and proceeded with my day

It was a great weekend. My wife and I enjoyed getting one last boat trip in.
