Dealing with boats coming from the Welch's Island side or Saunder's Bay side into Glendale can be an adventure. If they're transiting through between Locke's and Pig Islands and they're on plane the adventure can become exciting. Posting Glendale as a No Wake Zone is not a bad idea.

I've had my boat swamped by a Carver coming through and its wake broke over my bow and soaked everything in the cockpit. I've had boats cut across my bow less than 20 feet away while they were on plane and I was at headway speed. I've seen boats come into Glendale on plane and not come off plane until they were within 100 feet of the Glendale docks or even less distance from the channel into Smith 's Cove.
