Of the 700 islands in the island-nation known as The Bahama Islands you're aware that
the only island that enforces drunk-driviing laws is New Providence Island?

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"?
