Rob, I KNOW exactly where you were, and why you almost got stopped. Ever notice that they have no sense of humor AT ALL??? Two years ago we were going back to Leonardo, and I accidently missed the corner bouy on the turn towards shore. In less time than it takes to type this, there they were, coming up on me really fast in that twin engined boat of theirs.. one guy on the helm and one guy with his M16 at chest height .... not leveled at us, but you knew it wouldn't take much for him to swing it our way. Told me I was in restricted waters... I explained we were going in and I just missed the bouy...said I was sorry, etc.. They let me go with a stern warning that they had my boat's numbers and if I was stopped again I could explain why to the captain on the pier. Like I said, no sense of humor at all... lol
