I agree Airwaves, tough situation. Not sure if I myself would be overzealous in regards to writing easy tickets, in easy water, to seeming harmless familys, to cut my teeth in law inforcement, which most of these kids are doing. I don't have any answers to these problems. Maybe it does stem from management. I would start these kids learning how to work with the good people, which 99% of them are good safe boaters, to tell them what they did wrong. Just their presence alone in congested areas help. I won't comment on this thread since it seems to always be here one way or another but all the hassling of rafters really bothers me. The season is so short and if you figure the actual time spent enjoying the water vs. the costs of owning a boat & slip, it doesn't make sense to be hassled.
