Thanks SK.
I was visiting my brother on Mercer Is in early 80's and he had a retired Dr. associate take us up in his float plane on Lake Washington. He was a pretty experienced
pilot. Flew B17 in WWII and never stopped piloting after. Anyway a boat that was traveling south decided to cut across in front of us on take off. There was room but
it was a large boat leaving one hell of a wake. We were almost to lift when we hit the first roller. All I can say is the pilot was not happy.
