Funny you mention this - saw a new all-time low (high?) on the moronometer Sunday morning. 

Had run over to Chucks around 0900 and as we slowed down well before the no wake buoys my wife remarked about the fellow to our left in a ~23 bowrider and a little kid on a kneeboard deal behind. All facing directly at Chucks, between me and the yellow house on point. She speculated he was about to take off in that direction, I laughed and said surely he's just idling in for gas.........

And, I was wrong. He gives it a go but of course since it's a little tike goes only to a full-plow speed, bow up and creating maximum wake. You guessed it, he does exactly as she said and drove directly toward/across us just in front of our bow, between us and the buoys and proceeds to go at the same rate right down the buoy line and toward Greg's house pier, all about 4-6" off the buoy line. Had I not come to a complete stop from being at idle speed I would have hit the rope between boat and kid. Instead he pulls him within less than 10' of our boat and seemed not one bit concerned with that. I was alert for the kid falling of but was already stopped at this point.

Of course the HUGE rollers he had just launched are headed straight for fuel dock where a small bass boat is sitting and sends it launching into the air, almost ending up on top of the fuel dock. By the time we idle up the waves are still reverbrating off the seawall and moving the pier around. 

Grabbed what we need quickly, hop back on and pull away. As we get out past buoys look to the right and sure enough - here he comes, same plane mode, still right off shored headed back for a second round. 

What a maroon. Seriously, how can folks be so oblivious of a wake that big, let alone dragging their kid practically INTO a boat?
