They're called Captains or pilots, not drivers. If they intoxicated,
report them. There are, in fact, laws controlling that very much like those for automobile driers. There are speed limits posted all over the place and quite a few that apply even when not posted. On top of it all, there are maximum wake and other requirements you've not bothered to notice. I'll like you to elaborate more on this. Is enforcement as harsh and frequent as on the roads? More so in the intracoastal. Every city in S. Florida, plus the Coast Guard, Marine Patol the Fish and Game Commission has boats on the intracoastal enforcing the laws. Are there open container laws? Probably not, if for no other reason, because a lot of the boats, mine, for example, have bars aboard. Having opened containers does not translate into being impaired. There are laws against operating a boat under the influence. They're quite similar to the ones for drivers if you're a civilian. They're must more stringent if you're a licensed captain. Are there speed limits? Yes. How does it happen you have not observed the signs? They're all over the intracoastal. And are there wake requirements? Yes. They're posted in various places along the intracoastal too. Not that I care about the last issue. ![]() You might. While my wake probably would not sink you, it would probably make you uncomfortable. Lee |
