People don't get the concept of the captain of a vessel and the responsibilities that come with that, even on a recreational craft. Bottom line, obey the captain or stay on the dock.

You want 'em dead? I know a guy.
I kid. Sorta. I agree with you 100%. The best response is to ask where his/her parents live, then go pimp-slap both of them

I think most of the "owners" can relate to the "non owner" stupidity, and disrespect. I had total strangers with me several occasions and several Poker Runs. It was all good, but before I ever left the docks, I explained the rules. Show fire ext. locations, life jackets, kill switch use, misc. safety stuff and my rules. I guess the moral of my comment is that if guests, passengers know the law, MY LAW.. upfront, there is no excuse not to abide by them. Then here is the enforcement. So far I never had to do any "enforcements" . I make it clear, My rules are there for safety, period, and there is NO compromise in my rules. Taking and respecting my toy is somewhat goes back to safety as well. The last thing any "passengers" want is riding in my boat when I might be pissed. Not a good thing. I don't drive not even at 6MPH when I'm pissed, but so far is all good. I didn't have to shut the motors off for any of my "gusset's"..

My first dope slap and dragged by my collar was when I snuck under staging ropes and put my hands on a Porsche 911 door window to look in.
He was pretty easy going...but not near someone elses stuff !

When we take anyone with us I do not assume they "get it" when it comes to boat manners. A quick 5 minute phone conversation before the group gets to our house or dock sets the right expectations. Leave your boots and socks at home, bare feet only on the boat anywhere and anytime, no glass, food when we stop. Drinks in a sippy cup or wait until we stop and for god's sake sit and relax enjoy yourself we do not need help (plus you get in the way).
