I often paddle the busy Intracoastal Waterway and sometimes have to deal
with very large boats..70-100ft in very narrow, almost canal like areas.
Occasionally, they are moving at high speed and will be courteous and slow
down, throwing a huge wake and turning the entire waterway into a Maytag.

I always wave or yell "Thanks Captain", because the intent was good, though
the results often challenging. As they say..The road to hell....
