lol.... Must've been a slow day of fishing
^ this.Yeah, but this was at 10:00, in the MORNING!!Oh wait, Port Hardy, yeah, all normal. Nothing to see here.
On another note I have heard that they might start treating boats like motor vehicles as far as alcohol is concerned. I.e no open alcohol on board. Anyone else heard this? Should be interesting for both rec. and charter operators that do overnight trips onboard.
Maybe just a rumour.
Yes...they changed the regs as to what pertains to a public place as far as boating and alchohol is concerned in bc, but up to now they have been using a large degree of discretion up to this point. All I am pointing out is I heard there will be zero discretion and there could be some surprised passengers.Already not allowed open alchohol on board. Unless the boat has a galley, head, and is at a berth or anchor. This is nothing new.

And who’s going to enforce it??Yes...they changed the regs as to what pertains to a public place as far as boating and alchohol is concerned in bc, but up to now they have been using a large degree of discretion up to this point.

I just reposted that on a three other chats lol. Thanks.Yeah, besides which I have read that alcohol is involved in the overwhelming majority of boating accidents, and inexperienced boaters are most at risk.
If most accidents happen while people are drinking and the contributing factor is lack of experience, how am I supposed to get enough experience drunk boating to cope with emergencies if they start enforcing this?
I mean where is the logic
