    • Latest on Haulover Canal Speed Limit Enforcement (Statute Mile 869 to 870)

      In the spring of 2009, there was a HUGE discussion here on the Cruisers’ Net about a disrespectful law enforcement officer who kept a watch on the No-Wake provisions in Haulover Canal (about which there was MUCH earlier discussion here on the Net’s “Eastern Florida” section), He was giving out tickets, and abusively so, for vessels that were cruising as slowly as they possibley could. Not, below we hear from Captain Aquilla that something similar may be going on again!!

      It happened to me’¦.squeezed under the Haulover Bridge and was repeatedly yelled at by bridge tender that I was going to fast in a `No Wake Zone’ and could kill a Manatee. Facts: 700rpm, and 6.5kts; THIS IS NOT An `IDLE SPEED NO WAKE ZONE’ BUT INSTEAD A `SLOW SPEED MINIMUM WAKE ZONE’ That is the law. Even at the not required idle I do 4,5kts. These people are nuts! Give a small person a little authority and’¦!
