It happens so often, most people know someone who has been directly affected by a drunk driver. I have a brother-in-law who made the mistake riding with someone who had been drinking and it cost him his leg. Thanks for spreading the caution and safety tip.

The weather conditions and presence of surfers made it impossible to make a beach landing with a powered vessel without risk of serious injury to the surfers or other users (like kids) present. That the beach has been traditionally used by dories and that a major incident has not occurred in the past do not excuse dory operator of his basic responsibilities. we are responsible by tradition and law to operate our vessels in a manner that will not cause harm to our passengers or others.

A car moves on a non-moving platform (i.e. the road). A boat doesn't (i.e., moving waves, which can be temperamental at times). There might not be as much boat traffic as there is car traffic, but death or injury caused by impaired boat operation while drinking is inexcusable. One death is one too many. (boat or car) take care... If one can sometimes feel disoriented by just being on a boat, then I should imagine that it’s even more important to keep your wits about you when operating one.
