Well..the hubby and I made a trip next door about a month ago when a friend of our theirs came w/in about 25' of our kids swimming (he was on their jet-ski blasting out out of the cove). Started the convo friendly just shooting the breeze and slipped into the convo that our kids were swimming and someone on their jetski came awful close going very fast. The said they would talk to him and sure enough no more problems...for that day!! Still come flying in and out of the cove going at high speeds w/in 150' of shore..our swimraft and docks. They are not ignorant people..they have been pulled over by marine patrol enough times to know what the laws are by now! I have witnessed it myself at least 2 times right out in front of our house. What I will do now and in the future is immediately call MP when they break boating laws that i've witnessed. I will even start videotapping these infractions. I know for a fact that MP has their number...if you know what I mean
One more point to make..if you let friends take out your toys while they are up visiting you it is YOUR responsibility to make sure they understand the boating laws. It's up to YOU to educate them!!
