...except these booze hounds probably don't know how to fish, which is why they do the only thing they are good at......killing brain cells!

I agree, while I fish I do not drink. My reason? Why would I want to risk impaling myself or someone else with sharp hooks?

The problem we see more and more is that there tend to be more of these charter members of the "Budweiser Quality Control Board" than law enforcement on the water.

Maybe the harbormaster and coast guard could station boats at the end of the day in front of the marinas and give ALL boats the once-over? Kind of like a floating sobriety check point!

Remember that MOTOR VEHICLE OUI is the same for cars as well as boats. (At least that's what they "say".)

We'll have to wait and see if the Commadore gets a "wrist-slap" or real criminal charges pressed.

When the CG does safety inspections they also do this. They hammered S Dartmouth a few weeks back 2 weekends in a row all day long.

I never drink while I'm out on the boat...alcohol + boat + ocean = a big mess. Once I get back to the dock though....well, only a few actually because then I have to drive home.

The guy should be put in jail for vehicular homicide / manslaughter; what an idiot.
