I'd agree, but that statement doesn't "wash" with your prior statement:





We "know" how many "eyes" the Marine Patrol Aux. brought to the lake?

How many "eyes" will the CG-Aux. bring to Lake Winnipesaukee?

Don't we need those figures to actually "know"?

Turks and Caicos Island is a British Overseas Territory and does in fact enforce their drunk driving laws! The Bahamas were granted their independence in 1973. Not sure what any of this has to do with the C.G. auxillary...

As far as a better example... I thought when I said "the rest of the world" that pretty much covered it.

The fact is if your scared when a boat goes by you 100' away, you have no business being behind the wheel of any boat. If your only nautical skills evolved in and around Lake Winnipesaukee, there is a whole other side to boating and seamanship that the rest of the world enjoys where common sense and good judgement prevail.
