It can be hard to follow all the rules if you can not understand them.
Thanks in advance.

The rule for any and all boats to be 150' from shore applies in all places designated "No Rafting Zones" (perhaps better termed anchoring restricted zones). Do a search on the forum and you'll find a pretty thorough discussion on this topic. Even boats not "rafted" (is that 2 or 3 boats close together
) are covered by the "rafting" rules as shown in the earlier post.
As to why the MP was out in force this weekend ... I dunno. I'll guess it's because most of the time the NRZ rules are ignored and with boat population and shore development both going up it's inevitable there's going to be (more) friction. While shorefront owners can petition for a NRZ designation they don't get to call someplace an NRZ by themselves. Nor does it prohibit people from anchoring offshore, it just regulates how close in and how closely spaced people (boats) can be.
