Boating While Intoxicated (BWI) .....Page 34

"BOATING WHILE INTOXICATED (BWI) - The alcohol concentration for impaired
operation is now .08."

"The BWI law does not prohibit drinking alcoholic beverages aboard boats nor
having an open bottle. The law applies to operators of motorboats that are
not anchored, beached, moored, docked or being rowed or propelled by
non-mechanical means at the time of the offense."

Yet another really stupid law... I do not see the harm that it might
present to anyone else if a guy is cruising along with a trolling
motor while drinking a beer...

They mention motorboats... Are they saying that sailboating while
intoxicated is acceptable? Oh well, probably easier to not spill your
beer that way...
