You're kidding! What they're doing is illegal--they're trespassing as
well as using illegal drugs. By not prosecuting, you're condoning
both--and lord knows, in our wacky society today, what you could be
charged with or sued for if something did happen while they're aboard
your boat. You're worried about THEIR getting hurt while they're
stoned...has it occurred to you that they could set fire to your boat?
Or that when they figure out your boat is a safe "crack house" for them,
how many more they'll invite to join 'em? And what THAT could escalate into?

What is it with adults who don't think kids should learn that actions
have consequences? And that illegal actions have very unpleasant
consequences...

Peggie:

I did call the sherriff. He was very unenthusiastic although they did
offer to send someone by to look over the boat now and then. I'll
leave it to the law to do the hurtin. I just want to scare em away but
if the sherrif wants to gather more info and prosecute, I'll help.
Right now the sherrif dept is sorta busy preparing for a storm so I
guess this has low priority and I dont blame em.

Peg is right. If police found the "butts" they could confiscate your boat.

In his first post he said:

I went to my boat today to tie up for any surge from Katrina...

So depending on where he is relative to where Katrina struck, his
dilemma--or even the boat--may no longer exist. I just hope HE's all
right and can post again to let us know how he and his boat fared.

Thanks Peggy, I am fine and so is my boat. I am about 400 miles east
of New Orleans and all we got was about 3' of storm surge. We got 10'
from Dennis a few weeks ago. I appreciate your concern.

That's wonderful! I'm so glad to hear that you and your boat are ok. A
lot of others aren't as fortunate.
