I tend to agree with you Dave if we're taking a vote.

Better safe than sorry and all that.

People embarrassed? Not happy. Yean, they should be...embarrassed they were 
so silly and what about being upset...yeah, with themselves that should be.

Family does lots of canoeing in local boat-traffic water. We have a drill 
for boat wake. We also know boats suddenly slowing down cause more hassle 
than if they had gone by - sometimes.

Recent strategies for canoeing? We avoid areas of congestion now. Wilderness 
is much more friendly. Sorry you big city dwellers.
