Re: Operation Dry Water

It's walking the straight line on-top of the water that gets me ;)

Great! Just what we need. Another stupid excuse for the local Barney Fifes to harrass us.:mad:

Good! As far as I am concerned they can have a ball, because I'm sick and tired of seeing immature jerks operating boats while being trashed.

Re: Operation Dry Water

While I dont relish being told what to do by the man, I see that this program has its place. Too many people out there with no personal responsibility ruin it for those who know better.

Re: Operation Dry Water

it must be nation wide,as many years as i have been out & about at nite i have never been cked after dark,we were fishing on norris lake in Tn & decided to move about 1 am,i noticed a boat headed our way when the lites came on.i stopped & lit a lantern i had tied to the canopy so they could see inside my pontoon easily,5 min later they were on their way,i did'nt mind 1 bit ,they were game wardens cking saftey equipment & had a good look around & did'nt see beer cans or such as we were fishing & not partying,if that is what it takes to save 1 life im all for it,who's to say it might be a innocent kid? ,jmo,mike243

Re: Operation Dry Water

I am not gonna say that I don't drink on the boat, that would be a lie. However, I am very responsible about it. I eat prior, drink only about 6 beers in an 8 hour period, and afterwards eat again before operating the vessel. I am not a speed demon, I will enjoy a nice ride at about 20mph on the ride in. I do not condone the people that look to set a drinking world record on the boat though. I think the checkpoints will be a great thing, though.

One question, is it completely "dry" or a .08 BAC like in cars?
