Pretty disgusting behavior
In our area, maybe 30% obeyed the NWZ, but the 70% that did not just did not care. It was pretty obvious they knew the rule was in effect. It was posted at the ramps, other boaters were going slow and they were being told one by one as compliant boaters went by. After being clear of boaters that forced them to slow down, the captain boneheads would goose the engine and create a huge wake as they came up to a plane.
There was signficant shoreline damage this weekend. In our beach area, the flood conditions over the past weeks has pushed the shoreline back a foot, but there was a lower step of ground still hanging on. The continuous waves today were eating away at what was left of the step. Up to two foot wake, pounding for hours. The state should learn a lesson from this. The 600 ft NWZ idea didn't work. It has to be all or nothing. Too many idiots can't estimate distance or just don't care. Make it simple. No wake. That said - it sure was a premo day to troll the lake at 6 MPH!
