Waterway Speed Limits - We have won 1/2 the battle!!!!
This morning on FM 101.5, Mr. Roger Brown of the NJ Boating Regulation Commission stated on the air that he was discussing a speed limit on all of the tidal waters of NJ, but that was too wide a brush.
</p>
He stated that he will propose at the next meeting of the Boat Regulation
Commission that they will focus on "slow speed wake buoys" in the critical areas.
</p>
He said he is going to contact his senator and request that he submits
legislation that ALL boat operators take and pass a Boat Safety Course. NJ
now requires boat operators born after 1979 to take the course. This now
takes a full generation to get all operators trained.
</p>
He will suggest that a two or three year time frame for all of the operators
to become certified.
</p>
THIS IS A HUGE VICTORY FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT THE WAR IS NOT OVER!!!! THE NJ STATE LEGISLATURE IS STILL MOVING FORWARD WITH A SAFE BOATING BILL!!!!
</p>
We still need to attend next week's NJ's Boat Regulation Commission Meeting
</p>
Wednesday, Jan 8, @ 10 AM
State Police Headquarters - West Trenton
</p>
SEE YOU ALL THERE!!
</p>
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSTANT SUPPORT!!!!!

I got up to take a _iss and looked at the clock. I figured I'd call in. I got through on the first ring, but they said they were done taking about the issue. Oh well.......I tried. Back to bed for me.
