I took the survey. I suggested the Lower Columbia from Portland OR to Astoria be established a "No Wake" zone for commercial vessels.
LOL, wouldn't THAT be nice! Since we spent the summer anchored on the river getting the crap knocked out of us at least 4X per day. The river pilots have a rule that all commercial traffic travel at cruise speed to maintain rudder authority. I just don't see that as necessary during normal conditions. I'm betting there would also be a lot less need for dredging if there wasn't waves from the ships washing against the bars and shores.
Going up Admiralty Inlet (Seattle) toward Tacoma is a no wake zone. Can't see why it can't work on the Columbia.
I didn’t realize Admiralty Inlet is a commercial no wake zone.
We didn't either until we heard it on the VHF, after getting waked by 3 ships do 22kts, all going to Tacoma. Going over those wakes are a scary and a few glasses met their death!!!
Still wouldn't buy Tom a new shed"Speed and Wake Control not more than $5,000 in the case of a recreational vessel"
