  • Same vacationer on his Jet Ski jumping cruiser wakes within 50 feet of the boat's stern.
  • Multiple boats tied up and rafting together.
  • Very few, if any boats travelling over 45mph.
  • Not a single MP the entire weekend. Either on the water or from the beach.
I had a great encounter on Sunday:
Was heading up Paugus bay from The Margate towards Weirs. I'm about 200' behind another boat and some guy cuts between my boat and the boat in front of me, pulling a tube with two young kids on it.
