Asking for trouble.

Nightwing, I never suggested that he put the raft further than practical (although I have yet to see the specific rule that you infer reference to, except that it cannot be a hazard to navigation). However, even if he put it 50' out, that would technically give him another 150' buffer from the raft location - perfectly within his legal rights.
