Although my first inclination to "Watch out for the Marine Patrol" is to ask "Why?"

But Saturday, I watched the MPs "pull over" -- and detain for ½ hour -- a wood Cris-Craft cruiser.

While this stop is a local "size" record for any stop (at about 26 feet) the cruiser was minding his own business at traditional Winnipesaukee cruiser speed -- about 8 knots.

He wasn't flying a martini-glass burgee, wasn't overturning small boats, making loud noise, annoying others, violating the 150' rule, or racing other boats -- which was going on all around the MP at the time.

Maybe it was a registration violation, but I'd still have to ask "Why?" -- with mayhem all about.
