As the original poster my beef was with all the unauthorized no wake signs I've seen along the ICW. It makes a mockery of the real ones and causes confusion for those who want to obey the law.
That does not mean that I condone any speed one chooses where a authorized no wake zone is not established. A person entering or exiting their boat tied up along a dock should reasonably expect a passing boater to minimize their wake. On the other hand a homeowner who ties up his expensive little bow-rider permanently on his dock cannot expect everyone to show down and respect his decision to be cheap by not storing his boat properly along a highly traveled waterway with no authorized speed or wake limit.
Respect and consideration goes both ways!
