Accidently stumbled across this show last night-has anyone seen it. By the looks of it its a series. Its like "cops" but on the water. Followed the cops around Lake Havasu to the various party rafts or just lone boats driving recklessly. It was spring break. Lots of drunks on rented boats or jet skis. They would cuff them and haul them in, drive their boats back in for them. Lots of ladies in not much, lots of drinking. Since I am not a fan of drunk wallys on the lake I applaud the actions of the cops. Despite the real dangerous situations, kind of fun to watch. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Larry, saw the adds for it, but didn't see the show. It's a whole other world out there. I saw a picture of a party cove at that lake that shows hundreds of people and boats packed in with everyone standing in water up to their waste and with a can of beer in their hand. Pretty gross when you think about it. ------------- |

Larry,
I did see a portion of that show, pretty crazy party going on. Nothing wrong with having a good time just don't drive drunk. Years ago we made annual trips to the Lake of The Ozarks, very much the same thing, giant floating party, lot's of half naked and topless women, sorry Riley, can't think of anything gross about that!! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1143" rel="nofollow - Mi Bowt |

Funny you should ask. One guy got busted last night because someone was standing on the front of the boat taking a leak while underway. The cops stopped the driver who blew a .225 and was immediately cuffed. The cop's partner drove the RENTED!! boat back in. Funny, every single person the cops asked if they had been drinking replied the exact same thing "two beers" ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

I believe the implied consent law applies to the water too. What's the point of responding to that question if you are merely a passenger? If they see you with a beer in hand, you'll have to show ID. A sober driver is a must, that's about it though. ------------- |

Larry,
I definitely noticed the "Two Beer" response! Have several friends that are Cops and they have all always told me that exact same thing, regardless of how intoxicated someone they stop appears to be, when asked they always respond with "2" as the magic number of drinks they have consumed. Riley, when in that type of environment just keep your mouth closed. The sand bar at GL last year was 10deg warmer then the rest of the lake!! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1143" rel="nofollow - Mi Bowt |

Is it legal to drink alchohol while under power operating a boat (say one beer)? Or does it depend on the specific state laws. I am paranoid about DUI laws (I would loose my job if I were to get a DUI so rarely even have one drink if out to dinner). Not sure how the open container law is enforced with boating. ------------- 88 2001 |

It is state law, so it varies. In Maine you can drink while driving a boat, so long as you don't reach .08. Then they treat it the same as a driving offence. ------------- |

In Iowa you can drink as long as you are not over .08. I personally won't drink behind the helm. That's what breaks are for.

| Good idea. I really dont know the drinking laws on the water so nobody really drinks during the day on my vessel were all to busy with watersports:). Ive only had one beer once or twice before we went out(ie. with lunch). It really is a bad deal when a drunkie drives a boat especially if they are a novice at boat driving. or novices driving in general haha. (esp jetskis). |

Hey Quinner, Lake of the Ozarks is where I did my growing up on the water. "Party Cove" is still thriving. The Water Patrol is typically overwhelmed at keeping up with everything that goes on there Here's an aerial view of the cove, on what is probably a "slow" day. Up to 3,000 boats are found there at times. 
Here is "our cove" at the lake:

I know in Indiana the boating laws are no different in regards to DUI, OWI, or what you want to call it they're all the same penalties as if you where driving a vehicle on the roads. The only difference if you have a prior conviction and get arrested for DUI on the water they can not bump it up to a felony, like they can if your on the road. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

They can in Maine. There's a case that's going to trial soon. I guy ran over a 14 footer at night last summer with his 32 footer. He was going in exess of 45 mph and blew a .11. He killed 2 people. They're charging him with 4 counts of Manslaughter and all the rest of the laws as if it were a car. I don't know how they double the count to 4. ------------- |

well not every prosecutor's office is the same, but around here they will charge you with multiples of the same charge in lesser degrees, so it might be two say are a class A felony, and two as a class C or D or lower.
Not sure but I would thing regardless of prior's in that example and the mitticating instances, night, speed, personel injury/death would allow felony's to be charges, maybe the former lawer for out west will chime in later. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

phat, I believe your passengers can be overserved as much as they desire provided they are of age. If they are not, I recommend putting down the coozies when Barney is trolling by, and absolutely denying drinking anything.
I watched half of the show last night, I love the 19 yr. old kid that couldn't even write the alphabet blowing a .225. Also the hispanic getting pulled over on a PWC "We're not supposed to drive these things when we drink?". Cop: "Not when you're a .185" ------------- |

Todicus,
My favorite part of that show as well, wasn't he the only guy on that Toon with all those naughty's? How bout the Tige that was swamped, said he slowed down quickly to avoid a tuber, then his boat is beached and it did not look like he was even running a bilge pump, then again the only bailin he ended up needing was the kind to get out of jail! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1143" rel="nofollow - Mi Bowt |

Hollywood is correct, at least in Wisc. Barney will pull any boat over who's driver and or passengers show the slightest signs of intoxication... Rules of the road apply.. Better to drink at the sand bar in the water (they have no idea what boat you belong to). Then get back in with a different colored hat on and get outta dodge ...Doh'  ------------- 05' SV211 TE 73' Martinique had:96' SNOB had:76' Nautique had 77 Tique |

I thought drinking in a boat period in Maine was a "drinking in public" violation,but I could be wrong.From what I understand,that is what they cite you for while canoeing down the Saco River if you're drinking. I generally don't have alcohol out on my boat if we're engaging in watersports.Only if we're idling up the lake at night.I have seen that show,it's amazing more people don't get seriously hurt,but it is entertaining to watch sometimes.

Mike, It's been years since I canoed the Saco, but for a while they were clearly violating peoples rights by searching them if they were drinking, but that didn't stop them from busting people.
You can drink in a boat in Maine. You can even drink and drive a boat in Maine, although I use a cup because seeing the driver with a can of beer in his hand is a good reason to pull him over. ------------- |

Watched this again last night, I thought I was watching an episode of CCFan Heat. There was a guy accused of "driving while foreign" (Kristof....something to watch out for when you visit next year) Actually the cops were just joking. They asked a guy on a jet ski if he was drinking and he said no, Im from ______. (some foreign country, I dont recall) Cops joked about not being drunk, just driving while foreign. The other all too familiar incident was a guy accused of "taking inappropriate pictures at the sand bar". Now gee, who could that be. The cops checked it out and immediately suspected the guy in the speedo. Lets see, camera...
inappropriate pictures...speedo...sandbar... anybody seen Mark and JBear lately? ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |
