That's great. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that you can't spend SEVERAL HOURS wandering around and THEN become disoriented at 8:15 PM. That was a pretty easy point to digest there.

If boaters can have their blame for a collision lifted by a restaurant's "over-serving", can marinas be blamed for "over-renting"?
Confused again? Someone could be blamed partially for renting a boat to a party, but the new Boater Training Cert took care of all that Marinas cannot be responsible for what a boater does After they rent something if operator error was the cause.

Nobody ever lifted anyone's blame for an accident that I know of. Regardless of whether the drunk has become over served at a particular bar or not, it's still his responsibility. The bar is far more culpable if they overserved someone that was Already intoxicated.

We generally reserve the blame for an incident After reports and investigations are done.

There is a reference to adjusting "a navigational aid".

The Diamond Island collision outcome would have been different by striking land just a boat's length to the left or right—likewise for the Senator. ("Ramping-up" to the right and, certainly, grave injuries lurking to the left).

We should probably not mention any other accidents in this thread, people are getting This thread is specifically for an accident that occurred on Treasure Island, and so far, we have only limited information.
