Wake Damage



While the mast was in the down position to enable us to get under the bridges in Chicago, and beyond ... it was not "on the deck." At 1445 a 32' Sea Ray came barreling through! The looper ahead of us blew his horn, the looper behind us screamed at him to slow down and yet ... no response was had! Moments later with the resounding wake off the two sided cement walls, we shook, rattled and rolled for 20 full minutes. In the process of all that movement, the Coast Guard Auxiliary Safety Light was smashed.
