BWI laws

[NotCook]

Gee, thought the question was about the British West Indies and I could participate. Sadly? Minnesota is outside my balywick, but do note that if such laws exist in our BWI, there's certainly no enforcement.

Same here. Heck, here you can drive with an open container. However, my personal rule is that myself and any essential crew not drink until the anchor goes down. Not that I am opposed to imbibing, or merely trying to avoid a citation - I intend to have ALL my faculties available to me (such as they are) in the event I need to think clearly. Even when there is no apparent danger, things can and do go wrong, and I do not want my judgement impaired. Then again, we aren't operating a kayak. Lots can go wrong when 40 tons are in motion.

Anchor Down - Party Down.

It all comes down to " how much damage can you do at 6 mph?"

and when it is being operated, the "operator" often changes at a moment's notice, and without stopping the vehicle.

It is tricky switching feet on the gas pedal of the sailboat while underway! That requires considerable coordination so as not to cause a noticeable change in speed. Well done!

Nice landing, one you can walk away from.

... took him home to his wife!.. Probably cost him more than a BUI !

I'd rather face a magistrate than my wife if I were propped against the door and the doorbell was rung.

I didn't hear anyone yell, "Fend OFF".

No proof the Captain was drunk...bad luck or poor seamanship maybe...but not drunk.
