Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Recreational boaters kill themselves and others because they’re drunk and stupid. Try following the law.
A lot of Americans kill themselves from eating poorly, and the resulting illnesses they end up with. Bloomberg supporters have a regulatory plan to fix that too: you know no big sodas, no salt on tables.
As your advice to "follow the law", that's an ignorant comment. Simply because I don't appreciate the Coast Guard's current ridiculous over-patrol of inland water-ways does not logically imply that I drink and boat. I do not.
In fact I've sailed from Long Island to Bermuda, in a 37 foot boat, as the navigator and crew. I know more about seamanship than 90% of the Coasties I've met who could not navigate by the stars if their lives depended on it.
Maybe you are unaware of what the CG is up to.

I deeply respect Americans who have served in our armed forces, and those who have died in the wars against foreign enemies throughout our history. I refuse to allow the honor they have earned in blood to be tarnished by jack-booted thugs of any stripe, even those in the DHS wearing the uniforms of the once-great Coast Guard.
