Operation Dry Water Hopes to Cut Down on Drunk Boaters
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – State boating officers will saturate high traffic areas through Sunday as part of a national safety initiative. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is participating in Operation Dry Water, which is designed to reduce alcohol and drug-related accidents and fatalities. The focus will be on boating under the influence to give enforcement high visibility during the peak boating season. A TWRA news release said officers will be out in force night and day. Operating a boat with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or higher is illegal in Tennessee, the same as operating a motor vehicle. AP-WF-06-22-12 0804GMT
