Sink or swim? What is boating season?

A big deal here in the Puget Sound, the "opening day" of "boating season" is coming up. They were talking about it on the radio, and a question occurred to me, just what is boating season anyway? Aren't boaters allowed to uh, "boat" any time they want?

I know it's not like deer season, it would be silly to shoot at boats.

Suppose this should be filed under "Conundrums". Uncle Google sat me on his knee and said:


Conundrum is a puzzling question. In one variety of conundrum, the question is posed as a riddle and the answer is or involves a pun. More broadly, a conundrum is any problem where the answer is very complex, possibly unsolvable without deep investigation. A mystery or paradox can often be phrased as a conundrum.
