I was going to say the same thing ! While Capt B routinely cruises this area, I see more rude, inconsiderate and thougthless boating than I see truely dangerous boating. It's more of a PITA which is why I take the alternate route (sssshh). It's intriguing (to quote Mr Spock) to watch "Mee's" reaction (boating newbie) to other boat's when she's at the helm vs my own. It's just like when you started driving a car and were nervous about everything. However this is much preffered over the alternative, wherein the newbie goes about unaware of anything, blithely assuming everything will always be OK.
WRT the videotape, it can show the traffic volume and you can estimate miss distances by timing when the boat crosses (if it does) another's wake. If on plane and less than 3 secs pass then it's probably a 150' violation.
