Required Safety Course

[Pmt133]

I want to know where you're at. I'd argue where I'm at in NJ it's the worst I've ever seen it in a long time. It's to the point where june-august I will not use either boats or the waverunner on a weekend unless it's particularly nice out because I don't want to deal with the idiots....

For example... waverunners running through point pleasant canal at full speed as well as most other vessels. Blatant disregard for any posted slow no wake zones. People coming up on top of me to the point where I can touch their vessels from the helm. (I dont care that you're overtaking me... but the channel is a few hundred feet wide, no reason to buzz me when I'm intentionally staying on the outside edge to stay away from the chaos.) That feels intentional too... like my d!ck is bigger because i got this new expensive bigger faster boat... I'm watching people dump their holding tanks in the bay too... it has been horrible honestly.

I am 3 miles south of Toms River. The PP canal has always been an issue with the current and no wake restrictions, but here on the open bay, there is a lot more room to move.

I boat out of toms river. Thats actually interesting my perspective on it is that much different.

Edit: we were up on the metedeconk until 2017. I typically find the north run more relaxing. Bay always seems worse further south I go.

Just because they completed a course and have papers, does not mean they learned anything !
