Keep in mind, I got snookered by two large wakes on an otherwise calm day. The trawler wake I was climbing was steep but not unexpected. The stern wake was generated by a large and very fast powerboat cutting across my wake and bearing away. It caught up with us with the stern at the bottom of the trough from the first wake. His timing was perfect. He insisted--and I believe him--that it was not deliberate but he realized afterward that he could not have done much more to swamp my stern under the circumstances if he tried. Without the wave at the bow we still would have gone for a bit of a ride accompanied by the usual remarks about inconsiderate power-boaters.
