I snorkel often, and I have to say I at least understand this. It is easy to lose track of where you are. On the other hand, I have to agree with Snowbird on the fact that if the MPs were attending to bagging the boaters and jet skis that were within 150' of my property and/or boat, I and all of us would have a lot less to worry about. I still believe the speed bill would help; no question of being 149' or 151' feet there. But, be that as it may, it does seem pretty ridiculous that they noticed her swimming but never EVER seem to notice the 150' violators, of which we have at least 10 - 20 every weekend day and between 5 - 10 every weekday near us.
Yes, it was nice that they were protecting her, but were they nice about the way they did it? I.e. was it, "We just want you to be safe," or were they official and cranky about it? If it was the later, then I would be ticked off too.
