Operation Dry Water 2016 has Begun!
Local marine police and the The US Coast Guard are being extra diligent this summer season to keep mariners safe.
Nationwide, enforcement efforts are aimed to detect impaired boat operators in conjunction with the national "Operation Dry Water" campaign. Last year the majority of boating accidents in Connecticut that resulted in fatalities were alcohol-related.
Boat operators found in violation of the law can face huge fines and even impoundment. Nationally, thousands of local, state and federal marine law enforcement officers will be highly visible on the water as they conduct spot safety checks and enforce BUI (boating under the influence) regulations.
Remember:
1. Assign a "designated captain" to soberly pilot your boat.
2. Check your Running Lights before you leave. (see below)
3. Go slow, and practice defensive navigating.
4. Check the date on your flares.
5. It's illegal to run at night with a spotlight (or docking / fishing lights) constantly on, where another boater may be affected. Additionally, they must not obscure your running lights.
6. Check the tides before you go out.
