Lol. I guess it depends on who you ask. I suspect they might define their boundaries differently than we would.

In all my years in the San Juans, I'd never seen them. Now, I've seen them twice in the last couple weeks. Both times, I was cruising home after fishing and was 5-10 miles from the mainland. Both times, they chose to get within 30 yards of me at 30 mph for no apparent reason. The first time, I thought they were on auto pilot or didn't see me because they aimed right at me and only turned behind me at the last minute.

I suspect there main purpose it to "guard" the crabbing grounds from poachers.
