How about it is ILLEGAL to travel faster than wakeless speed within 150 feet of other boats, shore anglers, swimmers, paddle boarders, docks etc!!! Tickets will be issued!!!
They mention proximity law, but nobody seems to know what that is!! EXPLAIN IT!
Missed opportunity to educate the ignorant ones!!
Better something than nothing at least.
Any attention is better than nothing!!
There are signs on both sides of the ramp at Jordanelle explaining the proximity rule. No excuse for any boat owner not knowing and following the law. I'll be taking a camera with a long lens next time to Jordanelle, the better to document registration numbers. It might be worth an hour or so to document violations and so demonstrate how pervasive the problem really is.
Single main, no kicker.
