Too bad about the accidents. I'll bet the early spring drowning deaths spiked the results, as many stated it would. Are the accident stats reflective of the four drowning deaths as well? It might explain both stats. Good to see they're watching the NWZ's more carefully.
65 accidents is way up from 2007 and 2008, but lower than in prior years. The accident data, especially collisions of all kinds, is disturbing. I don't remember seeing any threads about collisions this year.
At least the BWI's are down, hopefully because there weren't as many drunk boaters. All in all, I'd rate is a disturbing set of data for a bad boating year. One resisting arrest..... hmmmmmm maybe he's in more than one stat.
