M_Boats: Boatin' an' Boozin'

Ahoy Mateys In an attempt to research the legality of booze and boats I came across this in a "Facts About Boating and Alcohol" publication from the State of California at its http://www.dbw.ca.gov/pubs/ABC/ website: "While there is no "open container" law for boats, as there is for vehicles, it is just as illegal to operate a boat under the influence as it is to drive a car while under the influence." Since this is an official publication from the Great State of California I have ABSOLUTELY NO FAITH in its correctness. I suspect that there is some sort of "open container" law for California boaters but I have yet to find it. Jim
