Totally agree. I recently followed the 150’ rule going through there and it clearly seemed that my following of the rules was a significant annoyance to a couple of other boaters who could care less and gunned their throttles to pass me. There was even an MP boat in proximity! Maybe it was his end of shift and he couldn’t be bothered with enforcement. As someone else pointed out, why isn’t the MP enforcing the water safety rules in front of their own building? NWZs are much more obvious regarding compliance as everyone seems to have their own perception of 150’.
