Operation Dry Water

SAMIAM · 07-02-2018, 06:14 AM

Saw on the morning news that there is a statewide crackdown this week on impaired boaters with extra marine patrol on duty.
Every afternoon we see lots of booze cruisers, mostly in pontoon boats having a beer or glass of wine while cruising the shore at 4mph and hope they don't get too heavy handed. On the other hand, I'm glad they're out there to keep an eye out for people in go fast boats after a day of drinking
Not sure what the law is.......I believe it's legal for an operator to have an open container as long as he or she is not impaired. Anyone know if that's true?
