We live just through the narrows and share your fustration. The problem is with weekenders who know nothing about boating courtesy or even the law. They take an online test that is a joke to get a license and then just get a $60,000+boat with a mega sound system and enjoy. The Marine Police are non existant, and the problem continues to get worse. They come into our slough to start off and send waves like the Gulf of Mexico even waiving happily as they do so, completely unaware of the problem they create. That is only one of the problems with uneducated boaters and non existent law enforcement. Just try going out at night when the same boaters use their docking lights as headlights blinding everyone in front of them. I've been boating on Lake Martin for over 40 years, and have never seen such a dangerous situation on the lake. Unfortunately, our Marine Police are so grossly understaffed and underunded that they are not even a factor in being able to enforce boating laws on Lake Martin.
