Maybe I will let my 7 month pregnant wife drive the boat just to see their faces and excuses for approaching us.
Since they are targeting us, make sure that when one pulls up to you, do not let him touch your boat or board it. Those guys don't know what a fender is and they love to step all over your boat with their combat boots on. We watched one bang up against a jagged concrete bulkhead for twenty minutes last weekend while he was checking fishing liscences. They don't care about their own boats so they certainly don't care about yours.
‘No refusal weekend’ at Lake Conroe
Updated: 05.21.09
Beginning May 23, Montgomery County officials, along with State Troopers and Texas Game Wardens, will be enforcing a “no-refusal weekend” centered on Lake Conroe.
Persons suspected of Driving or Boating While Intoxicated and who refuse to provide a breath sample may be required to provide blood samples under search warrants executed “on the spot.”
Mobile DWI/BWI intoxilyzer units will rove around the lake shore to provide access to both water-based and land-based patrols.
Half of the eight boating fatalities in the greater Houston area in 2008 involved alcohol.
Statewide in 2008, 271 boating accidents claimed 61 lives in Texas and resulted in injuries to 173 individuals.
That number tied the 10-year high, even though the number of registered vessels in the state had shrunk by some 30,000 in recent years.
In Harris, Galveston, Chambers and Montgomery Counties there were 40 accidents, 29 injuries and eight fatalities last year.
