1) As previously posted, the cruiser can be seen to be going fast, which is a factor in producing a reduced wake—
so we are told.
Indeed, in the photo below, the wake that struck the shore appears innocuous. Note the cruiser's wake coursing across the center of the photograph, as indicated by the two x's. Although a small wake,
it is cresting between the x's—
never a good sign.
2) The lake is approaching year-end's lowest level. Had this cruiser's "modest" wake struck at "full-pond",
more soil (and Phosphorus) would have been released,
more trees (and boulders) would fall into the lake, and
more survey markers would be found
in the lake.
