I half remember a story about people in a canoe being charged with BUI. Or was it they avoided BUI, by jumping in the water and wading with canoe to shore. I guess there must be a definition of "operate or attempt to operate" somewhere. It doesn't seem to apply if your tied to a dock, how about anchored?
