Skip,

Thanks for pointing the details of the law. And the fact that the laws in NH, do indeed allow for something like this to happen here under state jurisdiction.

Now back to some food for thought... Here is the thing... if I am operating the boat, especially if I have been handed the helm by someone that has be their own self admission had to much to drink, am I going to allow them to be responsible for the navigation of the boat. Now before commenting on that, we would Someone take control of a boat, from someone that is knowingly admittedly drunk, and probably not in a position to help, if they themselves are not able to confidently handle the vessel and safely navigate.

In short here is my point. In the case JRC brings to our attention I feel the wife is every bit as much at fault for the accident and for listening to her intoxicated husband. And if she didn't have the skill or knowledge to get the boat back to safe Harbor without his help she shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel either.... in short there where two wrongs that night... and it made for a worse....
