strange shadows of objects in water

I found another problem. If you have any object that casts a shadow on water with a color, it returns flakes of black. Have a look at the tgd. Is it me or what? Sorry, I forgot to make an image.

I would really like to know how to get rid of it (and still have objects cast shadows), as I'm busy with a boat+wake that works...

Well, I know how to get rid of the flakes, just turn off casting shadows.

Does this work for being in public? I attract flakes. ???

I looked at the tgd. I can't wait for you to render this. My computer just takes too long...

I just did a similar image, called Wake (and fishing boat). Oh, and just turn your shadow off while in public!

I need my own gaffer crew. ;D
Dune the wakes came out very well in the fishing boat images. I wish I could offer some advice, but I don't have the skills. Still, the wakes are believable.
