Zero - no alcohol allowed aboard.

If clients want a couple of beers after to talk about the days
fishing, I allow that at the dock and have a locked cooler for their
use where they can keep their beer or other alcohol. If we're using
the Ranger, we'll stop on the way back for a quick one at several
places I know at the ramps I normally use.

Soft drinks are the only drinks allowed onboard - period, no
exceptions.

And to answer the inimitable questions:

1 - Yes, I have terminated a trip where somebody put liquor into juice
bottles.

2 - Yes, I have refused to take somebody along who I felt wasn't
sober.

3 - It's my policy and it's strictly enforced - if you don't like it,
tough.

since I rarely drink, and the boat is not a business, I allow people to
drink. My fishing partners do not drink so not a problem with them, and
since I normally drink waters or a diet Dr. Pepper, I have no problem with
drinking on the boat. But, I do not allow smoking on board.

Now that's just draconian!!! :)

How the hell can you tell any decent story telling without a good
cigar to emphasis?

Whatever you say, Groucho. :-)

My personal policy is no alchohol before, or while, underway. Guests
are free to do as they wish within reason.

I'm curious to know whether the Seattle sobriety checks were done on
boats at anchor, or only those who were under way.

False. You're allowed to smoke outside of the 12 mile international limit.

I am not against smoking, just on my boat. I make enough money from Altria
each year to pay for my boating. Sin pays, and pays well.

What's "Altria"?

So, you're saying "no alchohol", in other words. Or booze.



Help me out here. What's the difference?
