Alcohol - "Go Easy on the Drink"

Don't go overboard with alcohol.  The blood alcohol limit on the water is the same as on the roads - 0.05% ... but be careful.  The wind, waves and the sun combine to multiply the effects of alcohol. Your chances of disorientation and drowning are increased.

This goes for everyone - the skipper, the passengers and the crew. Be aware, random breath testing applies to the operator of a boat in NSW.
