Agree! Courtesy and common sense would go a long way, but unfortunately we see less and less of that these days.
I happen to know the woman in the article and sadly, she was not being overly dramatic. They were tying their boat off to the side so work could be done on their boat lift. His arm was in a sling from days old elbow surgery and he got knocked in between the dock and the boat. Bruised a couple ribs, his leg, and re injured his elbow. Not to mention, the incision wasn’t supposed to get wet.

The lake is only 240 acres, with narrow sections of 500 feet, so there is just not enough room. The city did not go to a slow no-wake during the high water, and that exacerbated the shoreline damage, and this little lake became a destination. There are even businesses running lessons out there https://jsaw.org/wake/

We stopped driving with spiked tires because it ruined our roads. This is no different. The activity just needs to be enjoyed on lakes that have enough room for the wake to dissipate.

Makes me think of the expression, “watch what you leave in your wake”.
Anyway, these are good people, so let’s be nice on here.
Just saying
