I was coming back from the Nazwa last weekend and headed toward Smith Cove, it was just about after sunset.
As I'm coming South of Lockes Island just after passing through the Witches headed East, I see that the Marine Patrol had a boat pulled over. This was in the area between Lockes and Varney Point.
I wasn't moving very fast, but had a small wake, so I stayed about 200 ft away or so from the stopped boats. I even slowed down a bit as I approached them.
As I'm coming up on the MP, which was pulled broadside to the boat he had stopped, here comes another boat headed towards us going West at a significant speed, throwing a big wake.
Yes, you guessed it, he decided to go between my boat and the two boats that were stopped.
I looked over to see what the MP officer would do. He just looked up, raised his arms and hands towards the sky in a sort of 'WTF' gesture and shook his head.
I'm not sure why the MP had the first boat stopped, but at this point I would have let the first guy go and gone after the guy on the passing boat.
At least the MP didn't notice that my port nav light was out (we noticed it was out just as we left the Naswa and were trying to get back before sunset).
