When we returning to Fay's today about 2:30 with lots of traffic in the Glendale area. There was an MP outside the Glendale docks at the point with his blue lights on and the boat he had pulled over. Then in the heavy traffic that is normal in this area another boater comes along behind us going well above headway speed (white foam in his wake) and way less than 150' from the MP. The MP uses his horn and motions to the boater who has a look like what?, me?, what did I do? and you can guess the rest. That boater was there for quite a while.

This was not the only blatant 150' rule violation in that area today. One passed us just outside of the No Wake Zone marker with a noticible wake and less than 40' away. Unfortunately the MP needed many helpers if he was going to catch the violators in this area. He was obviously going after the ones he could but others made it past him as he was dealing with the violator talked about here.

What gets me is just how out right dumb and careless these boaters were even with an MP boat with blue lights on in front of them. Hello....what do you think he is there for???? Just to show off his pretty lights?

Stupid is as stupid does and it was confirmed today. Lots of Stupid out in Glendale today.
