Prior to the Hurricane, I lived not far from the water -- and hopefully will again quite soon. Even now, in my temporary location, I can still be to a body of water used for recreational boating within 5 minutes -- even if I miss a couple of lights. Unfortunately, this makes me aware of a certain type of inconciderate, unsafe boating "enthusiast" -- the drunk/drugged boater.

Now if you are considering going out on some body of water over your next vacation, are you prepared to deal with this dangerous creature? More importantly, are you prepared to make sure that you are not that dangerous creature? Fankly, you need to spend some time learning about boating safety if you plan on being out on the water. And one of the important aspects of boater safety is that you don't operate your boat while under the influence. Boating OUI is a big deal -- and is treated every bit as seriously as operating a car while intoxicated. Also, be sure you have enough life vests for everyone on the boat, and be sure they are used by everybody on your boat as a means of guaranteeing the safety of everybody.
