The "no-fun zone" seems to have followed me from Vancouver. Yup, there are cops on boats out here on Lake Hartwell as well. They always seemed kind of pissed off to me, maybe because they're forced to wear shirts and ilfe preservers while everyone else is in bathing suits. This guy was actually from the Department of Natural Resources or the DNR. He was checking for the 5 items every boat is supposed to have on board: life jackets (one per person), throwable life preserver, fire extinguisher, audible signal, and boat registration. We had everything on board but forgot about the boat's horn. And we don't have a whistle or air horn on board. Still, he didn't cite us although he seemed to be busting every other boat out there. I wonder how much each citation is, but I really don't want to find out. We should buy a cheap whistle and keep it on board just in case.
