You guys would have loved to be at my house yesterday! All summer I've been ranting about how close the boats are coming especially towing skiers or tubes. Saturday, a boat went by with the skier inside my neighbor's raft! Well yesterday the marine patrol idled in - he was probably about 100' off my dock when - you guessed it - Cap'n B blew through splitting the distance between the MP boat and the dock. On go the lights, on goes the siren - they were close enough that we could hear their conversation. MP was telling Cap'n B that he was too close to the MP boat and too close to the dock. Cap'n B seemed surprised - news to him. He passed the safety inspection and received something in writing from the MP - at that point they had drifted to far for me to hear. Now he wasn't the worst I've seen - but I'm hoping that some of the others may have seen him get stopped.
