Dear Sir,
You are a moron and an ignoramous of the worst kind. Taking into account that many boaters are new to boating and some are growing into their next larger sized vessel, this is still no excuse for your lack of safety, awareness, consideration, and general seamanship.
You and your group of drunkards provided an entertainment event for the dozen or so boaters peacefully anchored in the cove at Lake Marie in the Chain of Lakes. Your friends were a complete spectacle to all as they attempted to raft up, this was a scene straight out of the 3 stooges. I can forgive inexperience in docking and rafting up, maybe even a little ignorance of proper boating etiquette while maneuvering around anchored boaters, but you sir win the prize for stupidity and outright disdain for the peace of the cove.
After watching you, quite hilariously at first, trying to position your 260, which is obviously more boat than you can handle, and an obvious attempt to compensate, you bailed out from your futile attempts and proceeded to circle the entire cove with your vessels nose up in the air and stern buried deep causing a huge wake, all inside an area clearly marked with a white can with red letters that said SLOW. NO WAKE. You knowingly disregarded the no wake zone and all the boaters and swimmers including youngsters in the water in your frustration as you maneuvered your too big for you boat in yet another attempt at broadside approach to raft up.
I was the guy in the water that yelled out NO WAKE! to which you replied "Give me a F'ing break!". My wife and son heard your profanity. So it wasn't that you weren't aware of the no wake zone, you intentionally disregarded it.
You sir are the poster boy, the very example of the type of person that gives boating a bad name and expose others around you to real danger. It is my wish that water is sucked up into your exhaust elbows through your manifolds and floods your cylinders ultimately hydro-locking your motor.
It is only in this way that those around you will have any modicum of safety while they safely enjoy a day on the water with their families.
May the appropriate measure of Karma seek you out and land lock you until you have a change in attitude and begin to consider the safety of those around you.
You moron.
