This weekend has been the most highly enforced weekend I have ever seen at Lake Martin. For absolutely no reason, you will get checked. I saw three Marine Patrol boats covering the Chimney Rock area and countless times boat patrols covering the lake up river from there.
Not complaining but actually glad to see more coverage. However, if you drink and boat, better have a designated driver. If you have one too few life jackets, better go buy more. If your lights don't work, better get them fixed. If you don't meet any other requirements such as fire extinguishers, registrations, licenses, etc., your days are numbered before you will get caught. And if you go to Chucks and leave, prepare to get stopped at dusk/dark.
Again, not complaining but it does kind of change the atmosphere of the lake. What I really would like to add to their list of things to check is the noise of some boats. I bet that one is coming one day too.
Does anyone know if there is a reason for the increased patrol activity?
