When you are doing 10mph with the current you look pretty fast.

If your speedometer is reading 10mph riding into the full current you are probably going backwards! |

I would be more upset if they were doing so 20-30feet from shore, but it does boggle the mind that these speed demons do this.
I only wish they would get caught at least once to see what happens when they do get caught. $$=bye-bye.

I have an 18.6 CC boat and have travelled through the canal about 6 times in it. I will say it is very difficult for me to keep the speedometer at 10mph. I usually will try and find the slowest speed possible for me in order to stay up on plane which is usually around 17mph. Most likely you are talking about the guys with twin engines doing 30+mph, but just wanted you to know it can be tough especially in a smaller boat to adhere exactly to the 10mph speed limit.

the speeders bother me yes, how about the a-holes that are 40ft from shore when they have the whole canal to use, that really blows smoke up my arse for sure, you yell at them and they look at you like what I am I doing something wrong, duh

I have had more problems with lobster boats cutting way to close to the shore throwing a huge wake. there are a few spots on the east end you could get killed if you dont move out of the way of the wake.
|
thats why they call it fishing not catching

It's like the guys who come into Warwick Cove at 30+MPH. Sign says "5 MPH--NO Wake". No Wake my a$$!! They setup a tidal wave every time they come in or go out. ...and it's not the Quahoggers either. It's usually the guy with the 5 gold chains around his neck and the cocktail in hand.

No boat, back in the suds.
