Short story, i was traveling down the Houston ship channel, got into a narrow bend, and a tanker passed me, giving a 2'+ wake, i'm in a 16' Glasstron tri-hull, w/ a 40 hp Johnson, before i could do anything i had 3/4 of my keel showing, and my engine w/o any control (steering, speed), this went on for what seemed an eternity sitting on top of that wake, but probally only seconds, when finally i got a hard port away from the ship and caught a shakey ride from the outside of the wake, almost swamping. Anyway, ha short story (you fell for that one ha), keeping that in mind and looking at that boat on the Neptune's spine ( I feel a proper name), i can only hope the boat was abandoned prior to this photo. Also, Lola, i hope you never get put in that situation either.
