That's a good point but it can be done quite safely if some common sense is applied.
Its also often the only way to get a smaller boat safely to its destination in adverse weather.

Yep but you need to have good communication and I'm a little sensitive due to my near hit. Scared the bejesus out of me as the bow of my boat on hard lock scraped over the outboard motor of theirs. I ended up on the floor of the cabin. We were all lucky they heard my shout and put the hammer down just in time. Buggered if I know why they stopped, but boats pull up fast in water.

I would have been making all of 12 knots in the first clip. He is far enough back that should the unthinkable happen and motor died he would easy turn past me .

Outboard driven boats turn unbelievably well in high power low speed situations like heading into 50 plus knots of wind.

Now I'll have another beer:ORLY:

VC summed it up saying the boat was far enough away , may appear to look closer in video . As it was to get shielded properly from the wind in neaded to be quite close but chose to sit further back . I do agree with what you are saying maca when following wakes .

Jet skis jumping my wake really piss me off.
