It never ceases to amaze me......buy a house near an airport, then complain about planes.......Buy a house on a lake and then complain about boaters.

I long ago decided I can't do anything about people making waves. I could complain about them, shout and shake my fist and get frustrated or set up my dock and boats to deal with it and live in peace. I chose the latter and its the better half. You can't make every boater be courteous. It won't happen. Take proper precautions so you could care less how big a wake they make.....you won't have to vent on the forum.

I put out some small floats to keep them far enough away from my dock that we can swim safely and my boats and jet skis are secured so waves don't matter. Both work nicely and then when some idiot comes by I just smile and shake my head. Much happier that way....
