Thumbs up My Point Exactly!

You appear to be aiding my point, that there are fewer places available today for a quiet raft-up due to disturbances.

The monies spent by the MPs to personally advise rafters of the law would be better spent on creating a safe and sandy place with appropriately-spaced mooring balls.

It would be meaningful to truck in rocks and sand over the ice to a location far from residents whose peaceable times at their heavily-taxed properties are disrupted by today's loud sound systems, a party atmosphere, air pollution, water pollution, trash, cooking fires plus the "personal-smoke-product-of-choice".

(A website devoted to "social-rafting" named themselves "Lake Trash".
You can't make this stuff up!)

Maybe so, but a gasoline fire at an unregulated raft-up like this one—a State Park—could produce a headline that won't allow the NHMP the luxury of ever looking the other way.
