Selective MPs

Took a cruise this past Saturday afternoon in my 20 footer and while going thru the Graveyard heading northbound, I had at least 5 larger boats roaring past me heading south, throwing up huge wakes and knocking me all about. I was running at about 8 mph to cut thru the waves and get the heck out of there. When I got out on the north side an MP who was sitting there hailed me,pulled me over, and dressed me down for going faster than no-wake speed! Granted I was going a little faster but holy cow! When I finally was free and headed on my way, he continued to loiter about the north end of the Graveyard.

Later in the afternoon, while having lunch at the Lyons Den I repeated my story and heard that many people were saying they had similar experiences.

Don't mean to whine but it really got to me that these far more dangerous boats were left to go as they will and I, seemingly the 'easy' target, got pulled over. Was this an isolated event and I was the unfortunate observer?
