Canal control ticketing boaters?

[Vectorfisher]

If there gonna start enforcing the law to a T then I think they also need to ride around in some of the channels with a sharp knife for all the pots

[likwid]

Why? The tugs and fishboats clean those up nice.

[Bob Thomas]

Yeah...enforce laws. They SWAMPED Uncle Matt and I last year, yelled at us for fishing in the channel when we were OUTSIDE the cans and the Canal Patrol Inflatable was doing donuts right in front of their office. 10 mph? Yea right. They fly around along with the CG boats.

They should Police themselves first......I hate those idiots!

[Mike P]

Yup---every morning, first light, the Canal is smooth as glass, and here comes the Canal Control wide open, running to the east end and back throwing about a 6' wake

Then they spend the rest of the day telling outboards on plane to slow down

A: Don't whine here, if you have a valid complaint file it with Canal Control and the USCG.
B: If you don't have a valid complaint, stop being a googan.

"stop being a googan" ???
You don't mean MikeP do you?
He is so far from a googan it isn't funny.

I can see the safety issue with more boats around.
Ya have to stay outside the channel markers.

I remember times a few years back early mornings with 10-15 boats all just drifting right in the middle of the channel near Hog island in thick fog, now THAT is googan.

You are right about the motor not starting thing

[likwid]

You know what I mean and I know you've seen them before. (Didn't mean MikeP.)

Kinda like the guy anchored outside of Padanaram we almost ran down on the sled Saturday in the fog @ 12 knots.

He's prolly still cleaning out his pants.
