On on of my boat trips to BI last summer I left the great salt pond and went west and around the island the long way to go inspect the wind farm (which was totally cool). When I was out there the coast guard was stopping every fishing boat at the 3 mile line. To say they “never” enforce the rule is false. I saw it with my own eyes.
The possibility of getting caught is an amazing deterrent as opposed to knowing you will never get caught.
