NHMP installed these 2 seasons ago!

Those bouys made me realize I was staying well over 150 feet from other boats, docks, swimlines etc. in the past. I have adjusted and now I occasionally get gestures from folks who think I am too close. This makes me wonder if folks who routinely feel violated by 150 foot violations really know how close 150 feet really is...
That said, I am occasionally the "victim" of obvious 150 foot violations, but I really don't care at all as long as they don't force me to come off plane/change direction, or make water wash into my boat (actual events I've dealt with on Winnipesaukee). NOT ONCE has a GFBL been involved in the above. It's either been big cruisers or ordinary family runabouts.
