Over by buoy 3 there was a Marine Patrol boat lurking close to Horse Island, looking for violating boaters at about 4pm, on both Sunday and Monday. Issuing a citation takes maybe fifteen minutes and while this is unfolding maybe ten boats go by at headway speed and one perfomance boat blasts past at a high speed, realizes it just passed a flashing blue light-MP boat and slows down. Then it sees the MP is not going to chase it so it speeds up again and leaves the area.
Police work is like duck hunting. A gaggle of ducks flys by and only one duckie gets shot out of the sky. A happy compromise!
