Rose, again I don't think he was implying we should become vigilantes and enforce common sense. These few individuals will continue whether there is a law(s) in place or not. Putting more regulations on the books will not solve that. They simply become repetative. If you see someone doing this you don't chase them down but we as the boating pubilc "if" you have the chance should bring it to their attention or make a call to the MP.

In a situation that you gave as an example, whether it be a speed limits law, the 150 ft law, this action would be considered reckless boating and that one law in itself would surfice. There is really no reason to add more, imposing more regulations on those of us who boat with commen sense and courteousy in the first place. Wouldn't you agree?
