Here is the Pleasure Craft Operator Cards Question of the Week: What is the wake? It is the disturbed column of water and waves around and behind a boat that are set in motion by the boat's passage. Wash is the white plume of loose or broken water left behind a boat as it moves along and includes the water thrown aft by the propeller. Operators are responsible for the wash and wake that they create. Adjust your speed so that your wash and wake do not disturb others (swimmers and water-skiers), erode shorelines, disturb wildlife (such as nesting waterfowl), or damage property; For more information on boating safety visit freecourse.ca Courses, testing and safe boating information and equipment are available at the Flin Flon Canadian Tire Store. Contact Brian Humphreys at 687-8490 for further details.
