Hey BoatCop

At our local lake this weekend, Lake Nacimiento, we past a Sheriff boat and waved... We were in the 5 MPH zone, I was sitting on the engine cover with my feet on the back bench seat, he asked me to sit in the boat??? Is this considered to be against the rules/laws... and if so what about the teak surfs you see all the time... I would never sit on the engine cover facing backwards with my feet on the swim step... Is it also wrong to lay on the engine cover in the 5 MPH zone??? just curious...
Thanks

What were you wearing? It's pertinent to your case.

We'll see what he says, but I think they like to pretend that is illegal, because they (the man) considers it unsafe. But in fact, there is no law against it. At least that's the way it used to be.

You can even bowride at a no wake speed.

Riding on Bow, Gunwales or Transom is allowing passengers to ride or sit on the gunwales or on the decking over the bow while underway on a motorboat 26 ft. or less in length, unless the motorboat is equipped with adequate guards or railing to prevent falls overboard this activity is illegal and the driver will receive a misdemeanor offence.
