He shouted over to me "Their whole body must be in the boat while underway! That's an $85 [or maybe $65] ticket!"

While I have enough sense to know not to have them hang over the bow, I never considered their arm being over the side an issue.

Now I know.

I have been educated but not cited which works for me!
For real? Outside the railing/fencing I get, but hanging an arm over in open water? I see that all the time. I also do the same in my car every time I have the windows open. That's a little crazy.
