As this horse is just about dead now . . . . . I started this thread just to point out that there is a right time and place for all actions: mine, yours and Marine Patrols.
I did not expect MP to warn me of the storm - I am not stupid I checked the weather for the day I knew storms would be popping up.
I did HOWEVER think that the appropriate time to talk about rafting, spacing, anchoring etc was not as we were about to get hit by one of these storms.
I did expect MP to be more concerned with our safty during the impending weather.
I did expect that the 50+ boats that left prior to the storm in a pack at 45+ mph would cause MP to find something better to do than harass me.
Knowing the weather condition for the day is part of your boater safty obligation. How you obtain that info is up to you: a weather radio, a cell phone, a Blackberry with intrnet . . . . etc
