Interesting, I did just that one day. Wife & I were enjoying a weekend at Weirs and while sitting on the motel balcony noticed a boat with a flashing light next to another boat just about 200 yards off the docks. I figured it was the MP. I noticed how all the boats headed for the channel slowed nicly and proceeded well spaced at headway speed to and through the channel. About 20 minutes later the flashing light was gone. The sight of boats now racing to see who could get to the channel first was quite a sight. The boats tied to the docks were really rocking now from the waves. It seemed to this tourist that the presence of one MP boat with a flashing light did a lot to improve manners, even if only for a short time. There should be more of them, imho.
