Don't get me started!!!
I never got to part 2. Yes she had her say and all you can do is shake your head and be amazed at the selfishness and self-entitlement of some people.
While we were parked in the cove someone called the MP to complain that we were flying dive flags in the water and on the boat within 150' of the docks [actually I think we were more like 200' away.] and we were blocking navigation because they couldn't leave the docks.
The laws are there ----- why don't people read them. You must stay 150' away from other boats, docks, shore, swimmers/swim areas, mooring balls, rafts when underway. ADD DIVE FLAGS to this list. If you must get within 150' of these objects for whatever reason and you are perfectly free to --- you must maintain headway speed [max 6 mph]. Use common sense --- would you maneuver your boat up next to a swimmer until you hit them or would you use some common sense and stay a few feet away. It's the same with the flag -- why do you motor up to it and play with it??? Just pretend it's a swimmer and life would be much simpler. The dive flag law is redundant --- the law is already there --- use common sense and slow down when within 150' of objects in the water.
