If you consider a lobster boat a "yacht" LOL. No question the camp boat throws an mean wake, but personally I've never seen reckless behavior from the pilot - and I see their dock from my porch and they pass around the SE tip of Bear multiple times daily. I see a lot of truly reckless behavior by water skiers in that general area, however, (right of way violations, 150 ft rule violations, failure to maintain a safe watch with the pilot staring back at the skier while executing a turn into oncoming traffic, etc.).
If I had a dollar for every boat of every type that has passed within 150 ft of me in violation of that rule, I'd be retired already. The truth is, way too many boaters don't think the rules apply to them. I hardly think this is a "camp" issue but that's not my agenda.
