Them is a certain breed of ppl that are fearless and nobody can’t tell them anything besides nobody knew if he catch cramp or cardiac arrest
Getting comments from people that have not been on a sailboat visiting the Baths is not very helpful
Some of these people disregard the Flag. That is the issue. The only way to fix this is to put someone in a boat and fine people (make them pay money for violations). The fines will pay for the patrol.
Need legislation! Need National Parks to Step Up! This is all preventative, but you can't just send phone messages and make it go away!
