I'd support it: Even if it's minimally enforced (as we've seen ) it would put the notion of fear into some out there.

THEY ALL say they "boat sober": Besides, except for Mainers, this attorney has "got your back"...

1) You've never stood knee-deep in water—being dragged into deep water by a sailboat?

2) Ten years ago, from a fast "Farrier" trimaran, I watched the start of a Volvo-sponsored sailboat race. Those monohulls set their spinnakers and left our "17-knot" boat in the dust. Oops! (So to speak, "dust").

Recently, I found out why: those monohulls achieve 45-knots!

Question 88:

"Can you see that kayak over there, positioned at 150-feet?"
