I wouldn't roll my eyes too soon. There are some troubling stats there.
For instance.
Boat registrations down, requests for service down.
Accidents and incidents are up, fatalities are also up
Collisions of all kinds are up, including non-powered vessels.
Warnings and summons are down.
Even a cursory inspection reveals that while there were more problems this past year, even with fewer boats, there was also less enforcement.
Let me rephrase that. Fewer stops and/or tickets were made.
So who's getting into all these boating accidents? I hardly heard of any
