Two weeks ago, after 48 years of boating on Lake Winn. I got a ticket for failing to keep 150' from shore or floating objects. In my opinion, I was 150' from all objects until the Marine Patrol backed out of a dock, and perhaps at that time I was within 150' of his boat. But again in my defense it was that black rubber type boat with two big motors on it, and it was coming from shore at just before sunset.
This is a problem as if I were to go to court to fight this, how could I prove that I was 150' from anything? I know I was close to the 150' rule and I was near the cascade residence in Alton.
Oh well, it will be cheaper to pay the 57.00 ticket then to try and fight it.
