1) While I'm boating, the Mt. Washington passes me once or twice a day: Unless you're really close, its wake is very nearly undetectable. (The Mt. is a
really bad example for wakes).
Someone along Rattlesnake Island can check out just how bad it is at the shoreline, where it "shallows up" and increases its effect.
I think most RS residents never detect that the Mount has passed by.
2) As member
Woodsy will advise you, Bajas and other overpowered boats can create a very intrusive wake just when changing speeds.

That's been my
perception as well (there's
that word again
).

Saturday morning (really,
all of Saturday) didn't seem bad at all, but there were sailboats on the Broads—and MP-11 racing off to the NNE—between 9:30 and 11:30. So, just how "alone" did you
perceive yourself to be?
Sunday was so bad—wake-wise—
I called it quits early, and asked myself "Why can't everybody else be in church"?
(
Unlike Saturday, my perception was my wet clothes and getting beat-up by wakes).
