Hopefully this woman learned a valuable lesson that boating while stupid in New Hampshire is not going to be tolerated. The fine was painful enough that she won't be able to shrug it off. Hopefully she realizes that she is very lucky to have gotten a "pass" on the BWI charge and will sign up for a boating course so that she is better informed for any future boating activities.

Also, we can hope that this has been a big topic of conversation with her friends and family so that they can also learn from her experience. The "publicity" effect from these strong convictions can be even better than the conviction itself if others recognize that 1) they need a safety certificate to boat in New Hampshire, 2) BWI is monitored and enforced, and 3) OH, there's a 150 foot safe passage rule in New Hampshire ??!!!
