If you are rowing in the Netherlands, you get used to sharing the waterways with the occasional BFB. Weirdly enough their wakes are not a problem if you’re sculling, but smaller cruisers can cast waves big enough to flood your footwell. I’m lucky I can get to enjoy the waterways here.

A grey sky with a road bridge that has opened up to allow a Big Flipping Boat to pass under it. The boat is about 50 metres long and is painted blue and white. The photo is taken from the point of view looking from a single rowing shell, with the bow of the boat in the lower right of the image.
