Arrow Winter Harbor's Free-For-All...

'Glad overeasy found the certificate, although enforcement has dropped anyway.

But even without the certificate, the OP can find Winter Harbor, where violations were the "rule". Today, a Wednesday, was sunny, and just as hectic than any weekend I can remember.

A supposedly-muffled dragboat was blasting by every hour or so, and had already started his affronts last weekend. GFBLs routinely rattle Winter Harbor at WOT--where the NHMP hasn't been seen for many days. A wake-setter started a run pointed within 25-feet of my boat.

I've made it halfway through Winter Harbor's summer lacking a 2017 registration sticker!

"Other places" have some odd rules:



Minnesota has their 100-foot rule, and although I haven't learned the particulars, Wisconsin has both a 100-foot and 200-foot rules.

The 150-foot rule makes lots of sense on a lake with water skiers at the end of 75-foot towing lines. It is also a rare event when a boat can return for a fallen skier within the span of 150-feet.
