I'LL KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT

NO WAKE means different things to different people. Wake is the issue that causes the most trouble and hard feelings out here. Some boaters wait for NO WAKE zones to make hot coffee or hot meals or do special chores requiring smooth water. We have learned not to expect smooth water anywhere, even when tied to a dock, or in a quiet anchorage or in a NO WAKE ZONE. There are always passersby.

Two of the nav rules for the Cape Cod Canal are NO WAKE, SPEED LIMIT 10 MPH. Not a single power boat was honoring either.

Not Angel Fish



Not Rebecca Rose



Not Queen Elizabeth



Not R Time


Not Keep on Truckin


The blue sign is the speed limit and wake rule in plain view. By the way, the four hundred horsepower center cockpit flying by at about 40 mph went by too fast for a picture.
