Wow.  That is indeed amazing.  Why would the fine be set so low?
Glad to hear compliance there is so high regardless.

Anyway, let me know if anyone gives you the skinny on a fix.

Love to go rent a westy in Hawaii some time, but I suppose a boat may
give a bit more flexibility...  Looking forward to taking the young
family into Baja this February, so I'll still get my vitamin D this
winter, one way or the other!
