Why is the water and sky grey?

 

[Mr Googler]

I sailed on KATE (Alfred Milne designed America's Cup gaff rigged 12 metre) and the wake was minimal.

wrong forum

Some of that wake is white smoke?

 

[mcanderson]

I can see why you stick with it. This was 2 days before Christmas 2018.

Steam, it’s done it since before the previous owner bought it. Exhaust temp at cruise ~50^ so not hot but I plan to pull the exhaust elbow this winter and see if it’s suffering from build up.

Had a Suntrip 18 powered by a 75hp Yamaha.

Wake, when on the plane, was minimal.
Actually made a much bigger wake when not planing.

Are you saying that Bruce’s buttocks produce sun and make the water appear blue?

 

[Mr Googler]

We had many….in a row too!

Christmas Eve 2013 Fonte Aretusa, Siracusa, 24c. Hardly any wake at all…

Pretty much although Seastoke would dispute that and claim I'm just the pretender

No, just a gratuitous warm glow taken from my local bar.

Actually, that is a lovely wake?
