Please don't take this the wrong way, but I would consider the possibility that your perception of distance is a bit skewed. If you were only 150 yards from the MP boat, then you should have been easily able to see whether it was anchored, moored, occupied, etc. Heck, you should have been able to shout over and ask for help.

Secondly, 40 150-foot violations in 25 minutes sounds extremely unlikely. Yes, there are boneheads out there, but in my experience, they are not nearly that common. That tells me that perhaps your perception of 150 feet may be closer to 300 feet or more.

Hope everything is OK with the boat. Did you figure out what the problem was that caused the stall? I'm always worried about that happening.
