Boating is a popular pastime in the Richmond area and throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. The James River and other local rivers and lakes provide ample opportunity for recreational boating. This is especially true on weekends and holidays when our local waterways can be extremely crowded with boaters who have minimal experience with the proper and safe operation of watercraft.
Making this situation even more dangerous is the fact that most people view boating and alcohol as going hand-in-hand. While great strides have been made to raise public awareness regarding the dangers of drinking and driving, little progress seems to have been made in reducing the instances of drunken boating.
Drunk boating and other factors contribute greatly to the number of boating accidents that occur in our area every year.
