I guess you could make the argument that the time would have been better spent stopping other craft. I see both sides here, Old Hubbard Rd was very upset that he received what he felt was harassment while out with his "nice family" (and, Old Hubbard Rd, I would have probably felt the same way), but how is the MP to know that without making the stop in the first place? On the other hand, how many boaters took note of the floating-blue-lighted-buoy-of-safety and took it easier then they normally would have, even if the MP's were just wasting time?
I guess the bright side for me is that the MP's weren't violating the 150' rule by my beach while they were busy with Old Hubbard Rd.
