8 day trip, day 9

Wait, huh? Day 9 of an 8 day trip...?
Well, you see, our trip was a full 8 straight 24 hours, i.e. 192 hours. I think I did that math right.
But, that 192 hours was started halfway through a saturday and ended halfway through a sunday.
So, after a relatively calm night... we were awoken mid night by a quick front that passed through and stirred things up a bit... We enjoyed a beautiful sunrise on day 9. After a relaxing morning and debating whether or not we really needed to go back to the dock... I reluctantly raised anchor and headed us up river, a five hour motor from our anchor spot. There wasn't much wind to speak of, but it was a pleasant motor. The sun was shining, it was a beautiful warm Florida winter day. And, we safely passed beneath bridges that are luckily not as close as they appear...

There were some inconsiderate boaters out and about however.
At one point I thought life could potentially end instantly... here I am, motoring along at a pace some can walk faster than, and this motor boat is speeding right towards us down the skinny channel of the miserable 4 miles, no where for me to really go. Their one miscalculation on a boat wake and they'd be on us in an instant, and I do mean on us, in the cockpit with me. Examples such as this also bring out sailors' swearing.
Dear inconsiderate speed boaters:
It's one thing to risk your own life.
It's quite another thing to risk the lives of others.
Don't be an idiot.
I know you may not think it will happen to you, but people do in fact die while having fun boating. and they die on nice sunny warm days too.
Really, where have you got to go?

so, for all you conscientious boaters out there, don't forget to use your power!
All Hail to Channel 16:
"Security Security Security (pronounced 'securitae'), warning to all boaters in the such and such location, there is a boat of such and such description traveling at high rates of speed in such and such direction."
Don't worry, it's unlikely that said inconsiderate boater will hear your call over their motor(s) warning others of the ars, i mean, idiot heading their way...
