Hopefully someone answers this. There was quite a bit or bravado with we'll call the police, we'll call D.E.P. etc. the fact that they never did leads me to believe they didn't have the authority they claimed and instead where as is often the case they simply were trying to bully others for their own purposes.

We ran into a similar thing on Gardner with a guy yelling at us for fishing in a swim area. The "swim area" in question was a single buoy, that's right ONE buoy. It had no permit # on it and with only one buoy somehow everyone was supposed to know exactly the demarcations were regarding the swim area. So in addition to the question previously asked, I'd like to know what are the regulations concerning swim areas such as how is one established, how is it marked and what can and cannot be done inside a swim area.

Thanks in advance for your reply. It seems this whole thing gets more and more nuts every year. With respect to Gardner; first the dock Nazi and now the buoy badgerer!
