A wake and a wave while made from water are caused by many different causes. I had an 11 ft boat and about 1962 or 63 we were over in behind sleepers island visiting. The morning was great, but then the black clouds came and the wind. We had to get two boats back to Echo Point. My dad was driving a 16' Lyman with a fifty horse. My brother and I were in the 11 ft with an 18 hp. we tried to keep within 50' of each other, but we in the little boat were taking a beating. My dad signaled us to go on and away we went but them waves had to be 8 to 10' high I did not see my dad get the lyman in the boat house, but he did, We ended up almost in the driveway.

the lake can be dangerous, and sometimes people can be reckless.
