So now we have:
1 Flag or whistle for paddlers
2 Flag for boats with downed skiers
3 No shore lights that look like boats
4 Boater education must have proctored exam
5 If you're forced to take boater education because you broke another rule it has to be in a classroom.
6 effective 1/1/2007
Well at least the real silly stuff is gone.
1. I'm sure the paddlers will be annoyed, but I can't imagine carrying a whistle is onerous enough to muster the troops against the law. If I was as worried as some of the people say they are I'd carry a canned air horn, only $5 at Walmart.
2. Again, not onerous enough to garner widespread opposition. Another $5 problem.
3. Too inclusive as written, but conceptually who will have a problem with this.
4. Annoys me because I took the online test and didn't cheat. But I can see abuse is possible. I don't think there will be widespread opposition.
5. and 6. OK
