[QUOTE="acwd, post: 287130, member: 7495"] I know you guys are talking about being on the oceans in a small boat. The same thing can happen on inland waters too. Last year we went on a camping trip to a good size lake. At the time all I had was a 14ft jon. I figured if we fished in the coves and no wake zones we would be alright and stay away from the main part of the lake unless we had to go there and you did to get to the boat ramp. One time my son and I was out fishing and there must have been a tournament or something because we was back in this cove fishing. This big 18 foot boat came screaming around the corner wide open and done a loop. I seen the first wake coming and was trying to get the boat turned with the bow into the wake but didnt make it slammed us in the side I thought we was goners. But I got it turned for the second one. So sometimes weather plays does play a factor and sometimes you cant fix stupid. You have to watch out for other boaters as you watch out for yourself. The other boater did slow down for us and were friendly a couple even stopped and asked if were catching anything. But it takes one person to ruin your day or even your life. This same weekend we got caught in a storm heading to the boat ramp to load the boat the motor just died and like to never got it started! Steve [/QUOTE]
