AUSTRALIAN BOATIES, BE WARNED .....
As Christmas approaches boaters are warned the same drinking and driving rules apply on the water as on the road. Skippers are warned it is their responsibility to stay under the 0.05 blood alcohol (BAC) limit.
This follows two incidents early on the night of Friday December 20 in which the skipper of an 8m runabout and the skipper of a 40ft yacht were found to be each over the 0.05 BAC (high range) in random breath tests on Brisbane Water.
NSW Maritime Boating Safety Officers and Water Police will be on the water every day over the holiday period checking safety equipment, speed and alcohol.
