Mr. Wonderful might be prisoner number 873937 by the time all this is over.
I’m joking is at wasn’t he (at least they say) that was at the helm.
If that’s correct boat lingo :)
Wonder what his blood alcohol level would have been if they’d tested his?
Who’s fingerprints were on the steering wheel?
Where’s the video?
Since she was the only one sober, of course she was behind the wheel when they pulled in.
Boating at night is risky business and in almost all circumstances, unnecessary and usually involves drinking.
Yes, the method for steering the boat or ship is referred to as the helm. 8>)
“”I’m joking is at wasn’t he (at least they say) that was at the helm.””
It might be proper boat lingo but it’s sure not a sentence that makes any sense...Take a deep breath and try again. Enjoy your posts but do you need a break?
Why would they leave the scene of the accident? I would bet O’Leary needed to get his wife in the driver’s seat.

Everyone on his boat should have been tested.
“unnecessary “
There is a reason it is called pleasure boating.
I believe there were injuries on both boats. They went for medical assistance.
I post while at work and don’t review them. You are correct.
His story sounded fishy to me when I read it yesterday.
Surely all involved were stone cold sober too. /sarcasm...
Hollywood Liberals always get away with their crimes. Kevin O’Leary will benefit from that.
The cover-up is always worse than the crime...
Unless you are a “boater”, you have no idea about “piloting” (boaters lingo) a “craft” (boaters lingo) at night.
You can see just fine. Did you ever notice that boats don’t have “headlights”.
1. You don’t need them
2. They would blind other boaters
“Running/navigation lights” (boaters lingo) though, are very important.
one, visible in 360 degrees, white
one, red (port/left), one green (starboard/right) visible in 112.5 degrees. (I looked that up).
It’s just like a car without it’s lights on, seems to come out of nowhere.
Just like you depend on other drivers to stay on their side of the white line (While hurtling at you, only a few feet away, at up to 75 mph. You depend on other nighttime boaters following the rules about lights.
So if the first boat leaves, why would the second boat stay there?
At least it wasn’t a USN vessel and affirmative action champion at the helm or on watch.
