1) The NHMP makes it difficult to find accidents.

Skipper of the CQ stated that the Marine Patrol encouraged its officers to use cellphones to deny radio monitoring by citizens! http://www.winnipesaukee.com/oldforu...mes;read=29141

2) NHMP's Lt. Tim Dunleavy stated this May that 80% of boats have alcohol on board. (Portsmouth Herald).http://www.seacoastonline.com/2005ne...news/43623.htm

From a report base that is already heavily "cloaked", now only the remaining 20%, alcohol-free, accidents can qualify?
