Paugus Bay Resident that is an awesome and funny picture of the Coast Guard boat. Was the guardsman wearing a PFD?
The little egg-beater engine may not be enough to keep up with jetskis or high performance boats. Maybe that's what the ordinance is for - if you can't catch them shoot them. Maybe MP should get some of those vessels.
Many times I've seen MP with blue lights and siren chase after an errant jetski or high performance boat only to be outrun. MP eventually gives up and finds someone easier to stop.
Wonder how that little armed Coast Guard boat boat would handle the waves and wakes out by the Weirs on a busy weekend? Even if it didn't swamp it would make aiming that gun very tricky
