Marine Patrol Presence '21

[Mink Islander]

First of all, it was off Mark Island, not Mink

And there were maybe 20 boats in the general area that watched it. Two passing boats even asked me what was up and then hung around. So even though it was advertised on social media, it didn’t draw a big crowd.

Should they have notified MP directly for boat “crowd control”? I agree that would have been a good idea. Not sure that MP would have known anything was up otherwise.

Thankfully it was a very chill crowd and no one seemed to be in a mad rush to be somewhere else once they finished.

Agreed! I was there - absolutely no need for MP to be there. I went to Weirs after - would have been nice to see a bit more MP presence around Eagle Island as people were leaving as there were more than a few people who either didn't know what to do in a no wake zone - or didn't care.

Thank you to whoever put on the Mark Island show - much appreciated!

7:30-AM is a little early for the NHMP to chase somebody off Tuftonboro Neck.

Lately, during the week around the time when rental boats are due, I have seen a number of boats cruising through the Weirs channel at speed! Perhaps getting the boats back in time? No need for this.

One time and place we need marine patrol presence.
