There is a guy there that routinely hassles transiting boaters with no

people to write if this concerns you.

I don't know if it's the same guy, but I got such a ticket in late 1993 and
eventually had to show up in court in Sarasota. My ticket was deemed a
criminal offense and although I was able to talk it down to a $30 court
costs issue, it was indeed a real pain.
