By definition you cannot cross the line. The line is definitely open to interpretation as there should have always been two NWZ Buoys in place to create the line.
When questioned one year the MP officer pretty much concurred that in court you would probably beat any ticket because there is no defined line and it is open to ones own judgment. Now had the NWZ marker been placed in the middle of the channel instead of off to the side it would narrow down ones interpretation of where the line should be.
The simple fix would be to have another NWZ buoy and why MP never did this is a good question.
