It's a no-rafting zone. Complain about it, petition the legislature or the Department of Safety. (It doesn't bother me personally, as I don't spend any time in there, stationary or in motion.) But if you're ignoring the rule of the waterway, then why shouldn't Marine Patrol break up the illegal raft?

Seriously though? Look I don't really spend any time in Braun Bay. Once a season, if that. The original post an subsequent reply on my part is pointed. Could the Marine Patrol be a bit more courteous in the situation as described? YES! SHOULD the Marine Patrol, who's resources are stretched wafer thin as it is, be out enforcing laws that ACTUALLY endanger the greater boating public (I.E. moving violations). YES!! Pretty simple
