Study on wakesurf boats/shoreline

Clearly they were going in the right direction. You just don't know where they were going.

On an inland lake in Michigan, counterclockwise is the correct direction.

A coworker of mine (Greg) had just bought a used boat and had planned a 26 day camping trip with his family at the lake we usually go to.

We arrived and set up our camp that afternoon not far from them. There were five other coworker and their families camped out, so we grabbed some cocktails and went to make the rounds.

Through the grapevine we found out that Greg and his family had been out in their boat earlier in the day. They were in a cove all except his daughter in the water swimming. No other boats around, except the county mounty which headed their way immediately after launching the patrol boat.

Upon approach, the deputy receiving boat patrol training, whiskey throttles into Greg’s boat nearly hitting his daughter and crushing the hull of Greg’s boat and swamping it.

The reason for the encounter…Greg did not have his flag up indicating swimmers in the water.

Greg had been at the sheriffs office filing a claim when we arrived. He said the sheriff was wholly apologetic and said that the county would make everything right. Greg was out of his boat that whole summer. We took his family out on our boat, and rotated families joining us and another family with their boat for the four days we were there.

The Deputies were not seen on any lake in that county the rest of the season. Unfortunately that caused a resurgence of lake lice.

Uy that makes me cringe.
I always throw out bumpers and catch their boat when they pull up to me and they act like I'm insane.
"stay where you are we'll come to you" Yeah I know you will but I don't trust you not to slam your shitty patrol boat into my nice boat

been boarded a few times. biggest thing that pisses me off.... their combat boots climbing all over the interior. and none of them giving 2 $hits about it...

$315 misdemeanor ticket for riding on the transom at mead 2 years ago from a bachelor party participant... water cop thought they would get me for drinking as out west you can't have drinks within arms reach of the driver. pulled a nice diet dr pepper out of my moomba coozie and the look on his face was priceless.. the other 7 bachelor party guys were lit...

You are all making me feel good about the Utah cops. Very hands off (a little too hands off sometimes). The couple times we have interacted with them, they simply pulled along side us, asked us to show them various pieces of equipment (jackets, paddle, bailing bucket, etc.), proof of insurance and registration, and demonstrate our horn. They didn't board our boat, didn't tie up to our boat, and were very easy to deal with. We got a warning once from them about someone sitting on the transom while underway, but no ticket.

Curious why officers would feel the need to board your boat?

Anything they would be looking for, you should be able to show them.

both times we were boarded they wanted to be close enough to detect smell of alcohol I believe. 3rd time they never boarded and 4th time it was at a dock at a remote campsite.
they were horrible in green bay. they sit at the mouth of the bay and stop random boats coming back from the party sandbar. stopped there 2x.

As I sit and watch random slow flurries in Texas I would love to be getting stopped by lake patrol right now
