Summary
Wisconsin’s pushing for sober boating this holiday weekend as part of Operation Dry Water — with a sobering stat: last year, a third of deadly boating accidents involved alcohol or drugs. Remember, the legal BAC limit is zero point zero eight — same as driving. And don’t forget life jackets: every passenger, including kids, needs the right size. Fuel checks, charged batteries, water, and a phone are non-negotiable. With crowds on the water, response times may slow — UW PD Lake Rescue will be on duty 11 AM to 8:30 PM, reachable via phone, 911, or VHF 16. Boating isn’t like driving — it’s riskier, especially with passengers and distractions. Save the drinks for land.
