I am not sure what he did, but I will say, the marine police on the St johns are no joke!!!! When they say idle zone, you better be at idle (motor -in gear only) speed. If you are in an idle zone and they approach you and your bow drops from letting off the gas, then you are speeding! They enforce the laws down there very well, and they do write alot of tickets to those on them little water scooters!!
