pleasure boat riders!

Ok...I'm coming out of the closet, lol..I too am a pleasure boater during the summer. My wife and I have a 24' Searay Sundancer...and waves really tick me off if the wife and I are anchored in a cove. If we're not far enough back in a cove other boaters will come on through to get to the back and when they do it seems like lots of times they come through at half throttle causing the biggest waves possible. Heck it's really quite simple, for no wake zones or in more narrow waters such as creeks/coves, go ahead and back off the throttle and use that time to get a beverage from the cooler or straighten up the boat a bit or whatever, but some people don't get it.

OK get mad at me, used to it. been married twice, [widowed twice]. There are only three reasons for water as far as I'm conerned.1 for fishing 2 to make coffee 3 to make beer! Never got that heated about bass fishing, I like it, but I came from an area where there were closed seasons on bass.So we fished for what was legal. There were no tournaments, and buy the time they came popular, and I fished a few with my cousins, I had a family to support and schools to pay for. Plus I took my kid fishing.I dont like water skiers, jet skiers, and if any of you guys ever ice fished, I dont like snowmobiles either. But all these folks have a right to enjoy their outdoor experiences.I never went on a cruise, except a troop ship, because they frowned on trolling.Theres a time and place for everything, room for all of us, and many hours of pleasure for us all, As long as we dont infringe on each other.
