I fish the blue hole at caloundra a fair bit in a small tinny at anchor. I'd say 1 in every 100 boats that pass me here are doing well in excess of 10 knots let alone 6, and at least 99% of them pass well within 12m of me sending big wash my way. This even though within a channel is a signed 6 knot no wash area due to the erosion on the bank of Bribie. Let alone those doing much greater than 6 knots with big wash close to my anchored boat. If you got a boat licence then you would know that the limit is 6 knts within 30m of an anchored vessel. And don't go rant on about anchoring in a channel,. It's a signed 6 knot zone.

There is a newly carved channel that runs west of this point and the channel markers, so use that if you want to go full noise.

Just sayin

End rant.

jeez that's a better percentage than I've ever experienced there... I've even had boats overtake me yelling that I'm too slow. Annoys the shyte out of me too.
