Booze & Boat Crashes - (Making Money Before Safety On Norfolk Broads) Norfolk Broads Forum

Boating can be one of the most delightful experiences, especially when you are surrounded by a picturesque location. Whether you prefer a cold beer, a glass of wine, or any other drink, having a drink on a boat is a great way to relax and unwind. However, as a seasoned boater, I have to say it just does not work out favorably with hiring boats on the Norfolk Broads. That this is just my personal opinion and everyone is entitled to their own. If you have a problem with my opinion, you can simply go to another video.
The boating experience can be ruined by accidents and collisions with other boats and vessels. In the Broads, there were 13 reported incidents of collisions in 2017, according to a Freedom of Information request. However, it is important to note that these statistics only refer to reported incidents and not all accidents are recorded. This is because many boat owners don't report collisions that happen to their boats. Furthermore, there is a bylaw against navigating carelessly, but it is not always enforced.
Drinking on a boat is a personal choice, but it is important to be safe while boating. The skipper should not be under the influence of alcohol, as this can put them and other boats in danger. The drink-drive limit for boats is the same as for cars, with a maximum fine of £5,000 and even a two-year imprisonment...yet it is not enforced in the UK.
Another interesting point is that I have never had a problem with small day boats. This could be because these boats are much easier to control, and people are able to navigate the waterways better. On the other hand, big monstrous high boats can be difficult to control and navigate, especially for people who have only had a few minutes of tuition. If people are allowed to rent these big boats, they should be given more training to prevent accidents and collisions.
In conclusion, boating can be one of the most enjoyable experiences, but safety should always come first. Whether you're on a small day boat or a large vessel, make sure to follow the rules and regulations and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
