There was a tournament today. HQ was at PBM. At idle speed on my boat is 7 mph. Even at that speed my boat wanders left and right, so I had to make constant adjustments. The bass boats or passing me through the channel and surprisingly only making a ripple. Marine patrol was in the channel and allowing thus behavior. My guess is the MP is more concerned about the wake than headway speed of 6 mph?

As I was traveling through Paugus some of those bass boats were screaming! Lots of PWCs at Paugus end of the channel having fun! One actually cross my wake within 50 feet of my stern!

Not sure what happen, a patrol boat with lights on went through the Weirs Channel at planning speed toward Paugus Bay. Chatter on the radio was very confusing, something about a woman place in the ambulance near the information booth on Weirs Boulevard.
