From the same RSA, here are a couple:
... (b) These requirements shall not apply when:
(1) Starting skiers from shore, docks or floats, as long as neither the boat nor the skier is endangering the life or safety of any person.
(2) A vessel is in the federal deepwater shipping channel of the Piscataqua River between navigation buoys R2, Wood Island at the mouth of the river and R12, opposite the Sprague Terminal.
The particular about skiers is very relevant to Winni, section 2 about the Piscataqua obviously does not apply here, but since I boat this area on a weekly basis thought I'd include it for fun.
Makes me think, those that lament the close calls, wakes, loud exhausts and Captain Boneheads should spend a week or two down here on the coastal waters. Guaranteed to make a white knuckle sailor out of many of 'em. Perhaps, after having cut my teeth on these waters, it explains why I am a little more tolerant when up yonder!
