Safety & Curtesy ISSUE.
Exerts taken from www.maine.gov/IFW/laws_rules
Swimming Area.
A motorboat cannot be operated in an area marked or buoyed for swimming.
Speed Regulations
Watercraft may not be operated at a speed greater than headway speed while within the water safety zone or within a marina or an approved anchorage in coastal or inland waters except while actively fishing. "Headway speed" means the minimum speed necessary to maintain steerage and control of the watercraft while the watercraft is moving. The operator of any watercraft must operate at a reasonable and prudent speed for existing conditions and regulate the speed of a watercraft so as to avoid danger, injury or unnecessary inconvenience in any manner to other watercraft and their occupants, whether anchored or under way. The operator must consider the effect of the wash or wave created by their watercraft to waterfront piers, floats or other property or shorelines.
If anybody knows who is operating the Ice Cream boat please ask them to adhere and troll for customers outside of the 200' zone not 50' off shore where children are at play.Thank-you
