Out of all the answers, I think Meaux Fishing is the most accurate. When I went to court, the judge ruled that although my motor was out of the water, my forward motion (as a result of my motor propulsion just prior to me pulling my motor up) had not stopped. I argued that while that may have been true, it was the wind that caused me to continue moving. As Judge Judy might say, "sorry".
As far as what might or might not have been true, the agent was positioned on a point in full view of where I was and observed the whole "capital crime". Hard to argue with an agent of the court.
Lesson learned.
