90% of those in Florida boating accidents never took safety course
The leading cause of death is drowning and could be averted by simply
wearing a life jacket.


I'll bet that 50% of the accidents involved alcohol too.


Not really. some 60% of drowned fishermen have their fly open. Peeing off
the back of a small boat can be hazardous to your health. Maybe they were
peeing because of the beer.


LOL!!!

I was just going to say - it was the beer that caused the drowning
from whizzing off the stern. :)

I break the law on my skiff. Pee in a jug and pour overboard. Illegal to
pour overboard, but legal to pee directly overboard. Wasn't it in Boston
where the EPA said they could not dump the snow from the street cleanup in
to the harbor. Couple years ago. But legal to let melt and run off in to
the harbor. Common sense is not so common. Especially in government.
