Based on that picture, every one of those boats was in violation. Whether they were singles, pairs or triples, they were all within 25 feet of other boats. I count at least 30. That is a major infraction, in my book. Not to mention, all of the boaters should have quickly complied - and breaking up the group should have taken very little time.

And there was very little traffic on the lake this Fourth of July, compared to previous years.

So, yes - I think the Marine Patrol SHOULD have broken it up. Could they have been courteous? I wasn't there. Perhaps the rudeness was warranted. Perhaps it was uncalled-for and the officers were simply arrogant. Perhaps they were not as rude as the OP makes it seem. But they could also have written citations for everyone there, and that would have taken much more time. So I think they balanced their responsibilities well.

But just like me you are only giving your opinion.

I think NO they were NOT balancing their responsibilities based on the date given and the amount of MOVING violations I see during that time. AND number two I would have no reason to disagree with the original post from OCDACTIVE based on what I feel was a very fair written well thought out post. This individual does not seem to be posting with some sort of agenda. So why would we assume otherwise. Of course you and I are only giving our opinions, correct?
