Marine Patrol can't keep up with Donzi's

The Donzi Poker Run was this Saturday (7-28-01) on the Lake. They started from the Naswa in the morning and covered most of the Lake.
Around 1 PM the Donzis invaded Wolfborough town docks (to get their card or ticket game piece). This prompted complaints to Marine Patrol about the swarm of boats bumping other boats, crowding the dock and violating safe passage. As the MP approached the docks the Donzis, having gotten their game pieces, headed to their next destination. From Marine Patrol point of view, the Donzis saw MP coming and took off (violating safe passage in the process).
Marine Patrol took off after them in hot pursuit. Would you believe The Donzi Boats did not stop for Marine Patrol. Marine Patrol had to break off pursuit because the Donzis were too fast for MP to catch. Easier to bag those family boaters.
I hear tell that Marine Patrol tried to catch some Donzis several times and were out run each time. Too far to catch bow numbers. Never heard of any Donzi getting stopped.
Maybe Marine Patrol should get faster patrol boats. If Marine Patrol can be easily outrun, why stop for them?
