Hi All,
Just a warning to all to be careful around The Bedrooms at the Pin as the Water Police/Fisheries were out and about today.
How do I know ....... I got busted for speeding there today on my way home today at 12:30 pm.
Result ... $220.00 fine for speeding in a 6 knot zone !!
Was doing about 25- 28 knots at the time.
Was fishing around the tip of Crusoe Island and was heading back to Jacobs Well. I was aware of the 6 knot zone near the Bedrooms as that's where boats are moored, although today it was clear. I had thought that the 6 knot limit was only on the east side of the sign, but the officer explained that it covered the whole area between the Bedrooms where the sign is and the other side.
Ouch !! :'(
I'll have to cop it on the chin because I was ignorant of this, but I hope this post is a reminder to anyone else who frequents that area to observe the speed limit in this area.
I would be interested to hear from anyone if there are any other areas like this around the place.
Cheers
