We were out at our place on Sat/Sun and waves from the passing boats were coming 15 to 20 feet into our yard. jrc's attitude is no surprise. One boat went by three times with a large butt dragging wake just so they could get another look at the "spectacle" and water crawling like a small tsunami into our yard. They even took pictures! UNBELIEVABLE. 2 areas of the shoreline have already failed and 2-3 more areas are soon to follow if we get the normal Memorial Day traffic and cabin cruiser parade. The damage to our property may well be in the thousands of dollars or more? Probably not worth arqueing with folks like those who took pixs of it or those like jrc since they don't really cares unless it is happening directly to them. I will however share it with Marine Patrol in hopes they might see the light and do something before someone else experiences significant damage also. Please do what you can follow forum members and spread the word that NO WAKE is the right thing to do over the next couple of weeks. Thanks in advance for your help. Slow down and enjoy the ride.
