I can tell you one thing, it didn't take long for the "regulars" to figure out that they better not make a wake. You can believe me or not.
It is simply inconsiderate to rock people's boats and docks and erode the shore just because you are in such a hurry while driving a boat.

Yes it is inconsiderate to produce to much of a wake when in close proximity of the shore... Believe me I am on the same page as you....
I have met and talked with many MP officers over the years, and am the first to state that they are not all created equal... In short the MP officer that made the comment you have stated now twice... clearly didn't understand the physics, that any object moving through the water is going to create a wake.... I was not trying to indicate that what you said didn't happen... I just couldn't believe that the wording would have been that way... To openly state the N0-Wake could come from a boat underway even at half a mile per hour, means the person didn't understand the physic involved....
The bottom line is that this is a grey array of law, always has been always will be.... Could different wording make things better, well... no mater what someone is always going to ready into the wording what they want too....
