That's correct. The long distances coupled with significant lake surface glare this weekend caused me to not really see the other boaters as I was out boating. I'm sure it was the same for others too, so many a wave on my part went unanswered -- and I'll bet they had trouble seeing me, too. Did anyone else notice the extreme glare, even at noon? I think it might have had something to do with the combined sun angle and high clouds.
