I never said any violations were O.K. Sorry you misunderstood me. I said that people should be aware that others will not always follow the rules and with that in mind conduct themselves accordingly.

Even if all boats observed the 150 foot rule, the numerous wakes from the high volume of weekend boat traffic in the Weirs area would make it foolish to venture there with a fully loaded 17 foot boat. Knowing that others do not always follow the rules makes it even more dangerous.

While I will agree that those people feel they are a victim of other's failure to follow the rules in these situations(and they are)they are more a victim of their own lack of common sense.

Unfortunately, they will probably never see it that way.
