  1. The ship was originally slated to be decommissioned in Japan the owner gave up all rights to the boat.

     

    Prior to sinking the vessel a fishing boat tried to tow it in under salvage rights. Unable to tow the fishing boat it was in the best interest to sink the boat.

     

    1. Better to sink in far of shore where most of the fuel will dissipate

    2. It was a hazard to navigation no lights, no driver and going into a high traffice area.

    3. Towing it in would cost lots of tax dollars then you still have to pay for the disposal of the ship

     

    Using it for target practice was just for fun, we really should have sent our navy they need the practice.

     

    Ships sink every day all over the world, this one should have sunk in Japan but it wanted it see Canada first :whistling:

  2. Enough has been said about why in the world would you go out there..

     

    My only comment is how many people have gone out on the lake when the forcast said light winds but then in a couple minutes the wind changes and the winds turn to a gale from the worst possible direction.

     

    I am glad we have people trained for these events. Sometimes stuff happens.

     

    If there was a fine I would pay it and smile.. If there was no fine I would be making a donation to the fund for fallen rescuers.

     

    Now back to prepping my boat for spring

  3. Thanks Wayne for inviting me up.

     

    It was an amazing trip with a great group. My first laker through the ICE was a big plus :thumbsup_anim:

     

    Again LLoyd put on a fish clinic, :worthy: can't say enough about how much Lloyd knows about fishing and catching fish.

  4. actually drinking in a golf cart is illegal too lol it's considered a motor vehicle under the criminal code

     

    The LLA that covers open alcohol in golf carts. and it overrides 32(1). The

    driver just cannot drive while holding onto a drink. Sec. 75 Regulation 719

     

     

    Impaired charge can still apply. :)

  5. That's like saying its okay to sit in your car, in your driveway drinking in the drivers seat....

     

    ;) so sitting on the back tailgate of my truck and drinking a beer on my drive way is a no-no.

     

    Guess you can thank the government for this one.

     

    Driving a golf cart while drinking is fine.. but sitting on your boat tied up to your own property is a no-no.

     

    Will someone please JUST THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! :sarcasm:

  6. Here's all you need to know: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/debs-obs-quick-quick_visitor-1610.htm

     

    In a nutshell:

     

    Alcohol may be consumed on board the pleasure craft only if it meets all of the following conditions:

     

    The vessel has permanent sleeping facilities

    The vessel has permanent cooking facilities

    The vessel has a permanent toilet

    The vessel is anchored or secured alongside a dock

     

    End of story.

     

    I thought, if you are tied up at your own dock, you can sit on your boat and drink as its considered private property.

     

    I would be interested if anyone can confirm that?
