"Party Heat-Lake Havasu"

Riley wrote: It is state law, so it varies. In Maine you can drink while driving a boat, so long as you don't reach .08. Then they treat it the same as a driving offence.

I'm too heavy to ski at 8 mph...

Like Bruce said, here they'll take you straight to a launch complete with a waiting deputy!

Is it legal to drink alchohol while under power operating a boat (say one beer)? Or does it depend on the specific state laws. I am paranoid about DUI laws (I would loose my job if I were to get a DUI so rarely even have one drink if out to dinner). Not sure how the open container law is enforced with boating.    

Is that why there were bubbles coming up around his boat, heat?

Larry,

I definitely noticed the "Two Beer" response!

Have several friends that are Cops and they have all always told me that exact same thing, regardless of how intoxicated someone they stop appears to be, when asked they always respond with "2" as the magic number of drinks they have consumed.

Riley, when in that type of environment just keep your mouth closed. The sand bar at GL last year was 10deg warmer then the rest of the lake!!

Funny you should ask. One guy got busted last night because someone was standing on the front of the boat taking a leak while underway. The cops stopped the driver who blew a .225 and was immediately cuffed. The cop's partner drove the RENTED!! boat back in.

Funny, every single person the cops asked if they had been drinking replied the exact same thing "two beers"

Larry,

I did see a portion of that show, pretty crazy party going on. Nothing wrong with having a good time just don't drive drunk.
Years ago we made annual trips to the Lake of The Ozarks, very much the same thing, giant floating party, lot's of half naked and topless women, sorry Riley, can't think of anything gross about that!!

Accidently stumbled across this show last night-has anyone seen it. By the looks of it its a series. Its like "cops" but on the water. Followed the cops around Lake Havasu to the various party rafts or just lone boats driving recklessly. It was spring break. Lots of drunks on rented boats or jet skis. They would cuff them and haul them in, drive their boats back in for them. Lots of ladies in not much, lots of drinking. Since I am not a fan of drunk wallys on the lake I applaud the actions of the cops. Despite the real dangerous situations, kind of fun to watch.
