Twice this week, I've observed boats come flying into our slough at a good rate of speed. One was a bass boat, another was a runabout. Why they felt the need to do this, I have no idea because it is not a particularly long slough, and there is nothing particularlly interesting down here. No rock concerts were scheduled, no fireworks, and we aren't on the big bass tour so no reason to have fly in for a good position.
It would be nice to think that people would have consideration when entering a slough to slow down enough not to cause a substantial wake.

With all the discussion against the Marine Police and for personal freedom, you would think that every boater on this lake was the picture of consideration and safety. Not so. The twin of personal freedom is personal responsibility. And a little consideration goes a long way. I can personally promise you that if I cruise your slough, I'm going to do everything I can not to disturb your peace or create a wake that slams your boats into your docks.
