The "Marine Patrol" boardings seem to have gone through the roof lately!

I see boat after boat after boat "pulled over" everywhere I go, and all the way up the East Coast.

It's sick because those guys aren't even doing anything more than handing out tickets where they can. They're saving no lives, securing nothing and generally seem like waterborne tax collectors, ambushing people along the channel.

I got ambushed myself in FL as I was leaving.
