No wake zone

[Good Grief]

Hogan - as the Hudson River is considered part of the Navigable Waters of the United States (not a Sole State waters), wouldn't the approval for a No Wake Zone come from USCG, not State/Local? Private ATONs on the river are requested to and approved by USCG . . ....

Regardless of approval authority, the river is plenty wide there, and I'd be surprised if a no wake zone, if actually approved and established, would extend entirely across the river. Sounds like Dave made a conscious and deliberate effort to minimize the effect of his wake. For a boat club that's been on the river since the early 1900's, they should really spend some of their dues on a decent breakwater. just sayin'.

Gene I cut my speed in half to reduce my wake if I went any slower I would have created a larger wake short of truly going idle speed from over 1/4 mile away I did the best I could. As the lead boat in a group of three large boats I felt a responsibility to make an effort based on the response I don't think I would do this again next time I will maintain my speed and cruise on by and will not respond to their cries on the radio.
If they spent half as much time working on a wall as they do bitching on the radio they would have no issues at all!
