That being the case, why don't they simply post cops next to bars and
shoot fish in a barrel, so to speak?



The local sheriff post cops on the one road leading from the Sailing Club
after all of their regattas and parties. The word gets out quickly if you
are going to drink, either get a DD or spend the night in your boat.


And another vote for a big boat! :-)

Makes sense. Around here, the word is that if you want to crew on a boat
during sail races, show up early on the second day. The crew from the first
day won't be awake until late afternoon.

The only people who don't enjoy big boats are those with tiny boats.

Asked the wife a while back that since we are getting older, maybe we needed
a cruiser. She stated we are not that old.

The gunnel's seem low, but that HT transom will keep the wake from
swamping the boat. ;)

She still likes my naked body. I am at 6'4" only about 20# overweight. She
still waterskis and tubes at 65 years young.
