MP Just Blew By Us--Crazy Skilled Driving
Just came from Hanson Cove or Greene's Basin at seemingly full throttle through the channel off Bryant's Point (what's the channel called?) with crazy precision--driver must know the lake incredibly well to drive like that!

I doubt he has much to worry about in getting a ticket

I saw him leave Green's Basin at that time. We were headed into the basin and he was headed out. He was going slow at that moment through the NWZ.

Thanks. Is that a spot where one has to be at no wake? The "island" there is within 150 feet of the red topped spars, but it's really just a pile of rocks. I've observed that most people go through there at speed.

When I wrote that, I thought it was the spot by FL51, not 52. Now that someone posted the chart screen shot, I know FL52 is a NWZ.

Whaaaat?
What is the purpose of this thread? You've never been passed by a cop? If they don't need it, they may go in a hurry without lights and sirens.

Tough area
I have taken the ride to Green's Basin about 5 times over the last 20 years. For the first 20 years I was on the lake I didn't know it existed. After noticing it on the chart I went for a look.
Each time I have gone there the chart is in one hand and the wheel in the other. I find it to be the most challenging area of the lake to navigate. To me, that area feels like a different lake. If a Marine Patrol Officer got a call and had a need to hurry somewhere, and is capable of safely doing so, more power to him! |

Buzzell Cove is another interesting one to see, it feels like a little pond in there. I don't find Green's Basin all that tough to navigate, but the channels sure can get narrow... I think the area around 9 Acre, Dow, Pistol and Whortleberry Isalnds is vastly more challenging. The way red tops and black tops swap sides (of the boat) as you twist and turn through that area is really crazy. |

Agree this is a pretty aimless conversation....but with that said I (in kayak) and my son (on SUP) had just passed 52 bearing toward Evergreen when we heard the sirens. We thought it was a police car on the Neck. Then we saw the MP absolutely ripping through the channel - very fast, very aggressive, but clearly not his/her first pass through the channel. I assumed there had been an accident (pure speculation). A few mins later two boaters met near the channel. We overheard something about a wakeboarder....but again, who knows. I'm just glad we weren't in the channel or by 52 or it would have been quite dramatic.
