I'll admit that I have been guilty of this also. You bring up an excellent point. I guess I always have it planned out where I want to start because I have that "hot spot" that I want to get to before everyone else. I guess thinking that the faster I get there the better chance that no one will see me and it will remain my "hot spot", when really everyone else already knows about it anyways.
I will also admit that I love the way my ranger rides with the motor trimmed up and hummin across the water.
