Goodness you guys are really getting pathetic!

No - I still feel unsafe around Speeding boats that are going at high speeds - and may not see me!

My argument has not changed. I explained this incident a long time ago: When I wrote "speeding boat", I just meant a boat that was going way faster than it should have been at that distance from us. That powerboat was not traveling at high speed and the operator saw us just fine. He passed with 40 feet of us and laughed as his wake swamped us. The guy was showing off, but we never felt like we were in any danger of being hit by him.

Yes, he broke the 150 foot law, and I wasn't happy about that. He should never have been that close. Guys often come closer than they should, just to check us out - but most actually slow way down. But some guys seem to have trouble thinking straight when they are looking at females.
