I don't see much in the way of safety enforcement on the waterways
around here. I used to keep a boat at a local marina the Maryland water
cops also used, but I rarely saw their slip empty. The one time I was
stopped, at least a decade ago, it was by a very nice looking female
water cop. A buddy on my boat at the time asked her out on a date, and
she accepted.

we're fortunate at long beach island, NJ. USCG has a strong presence
and they routinely board boats around here. of course, those of us in
the CG aux help a bit! yes, the sound is a hard area to patrol...
