South Jersey Stupidity
Off of Absecon Island (AC, Ventnor, Margate, Longport NJ) today the entire island was in a dense unwavering fog throughout the day. Visibility was approximately 300ft throughout the day. There was virtually no one boating in the ocean today, for what were obvious reasons to every person with half a brain, except for the owner of an 1980’s 39’ Cigarette. This a$$ decided to rip down the beach at about 50mph flying blind due to visibility. Through the fog I caught a glimpse of the graphics and recognized what boat is was since I know where it docks, and I know it has no radar.
Let’s face it people who enjoy our type of boats don’t have the best reputation to begin with and stupidity like this certainly doesn’t help things. Here’s my question are there any Coast Guard or other type of maritime guidelines/regulation regarding safe operation of a vessel in low to no visibility conditions?

We were just inside the LBI inlet at the sand bar and the guys were testing the race boat. They started out and came back in and said it was bad right outside. We also saw a big orange outerlimits start out and come back in...so some of us 609'ers did the right thing!!!
