- 32. Thoughts from the public … Hopefully, here in NC, they will close down all the schools they fired the teachers from due to budget cuts and they move that tax revenue to the Wildlife so they can run around harassing boaters every weekend. Gee, hope your family is never the recipient of a boating accident due to excessive drinking! This forum is about boater safety and education. I posted this for all as a reminder to be careful out there. Maybe you have other priorities...I wouldn't call it harassment.
- 33. Operation dry weather would make more sense here in the Northeast. Thoughts from the public … They also should have common sense checkpoints.
- 34. I am not an organization, just an individual who enjoys boating. I applaude your program and wish you great success. I use alcohol on occasion but limit it to situations where i won't be operating any type of equipment that will endanger anyone or anything. As far as I am concerned, any alcohol use connected with boating should be strickly banned and violaters should be severely punished. Once again, I wish you great success !!!!!

Editor's Notes
- At our annual conference in Texas in September, NASBLA launched its Boat Operations and Training Program – or BOAT, for short. The BOAT program is a national training system intend to develop and compliment the capabilities of maritime law enforcement officers at all levels of government – federal, state and local. The tactical boat operations component of the program is based on the Federal Exclusionary Zone training developed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission over the last several years.
- Of the 120 counties in Kentucky, 52 are completely dry, 38 are considered partially dry or "moist", 29 are entirely wet, and one is classified as wet but is actually closer to "moist".
