Jumping from the bridge into that congested waterway puts both swimmers and boaters at risk. Several weeks ago a young man disappeared from the same spot and was found dead down river. Now a jumper has landed on a boat and injured a passenger in that boat. Swimmers in this area are also an...

Ha!

Oh, Dave! That would be conservative Chief Justice Reinquist in a 6 to 3 decision also signed by Scalia and the rest of the SCOTUS conservatives. In fact, it was liberal justices Brennan and Stevens who wrote the dissent. As an interesting aside, Reinquist also wrote the Graham v Connor...

Thank you.

You get any numbers for me?😉

Still out recovering from back surgery but I think you must be referring to the "Speed Alley" buoys which have bee in place since Memorial Weekend 2015. They drift a bit and our maintenance folks must reset the lines periodically. Granted I've been out of the office for two weeks, but I'm as...

Thanks Ziggy! I encouraged each of them to set up profiles on RDP and join the conversation. A few more friendly hellos on the water may help persuade them.

Yeah, this should be a one or the other situation. Actually, best to just skip the other altogether.

That's north of my jurisdiction, but I'd encourage you guys to think about videotaping reckless operation like that and forwarding to local LEOs. If somebody brought me a decent video of with vessel number and a face shot I'd go after it hard.

Thank you! I did not realize AZ and CA differed on that, but looks like you're right. See p26 http://www.dbw.ca.gov/Pubs/Abc/Required_Equipment.pdf

If they take they wheel, then yes. I've been on OUI checkpoints a couple times where an intoxicated operator tries to switch with a family member and then both end up being arrested for OUI. No rope needed on a standard Type IV cushion like most folks carry. I'd need to look into ring...

I don't know if this was an FWS officer or some other agency, but I think most of the LE using this section of river make use of the reed-lined shore for our stops. We aren't trying to keep you from escaping but rather get out of the current and away from the wakes of passing boats. When we...

Fairbanks is brutal and I couldn't have handled -60 winters either. Anchorage weather was moderated by the adjacent ocean and honestly wasn't much colder than winters on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. If I were ever to go back, Anchorage or the Kenai Penninsula are the only places I'd...

I loved it. In the summers I managed the Walrus Islands State Game Sanctuary out in Bristol Bay. Just me and one other person living on an island with up to 10,000 walrus and a quarter million seabirds. Our visitors were National Geo photographer types and some pretty adventurous folks...

Thanks to all who were out there and watching.

Gelcoater, looks like you've got my number. You could not have recommended a better thread for me to read while I mend (doing well, Ziggy, but you're right about the second day being less comfortable- haven't needed any Percs yet though). I've been obsessed for about 13 years with the idea of...

For a 28' boat with Halon and one B1 portable, I believe that officer was mistaken. See http://www.azgfd.gov/pdfs/outdoor_recreation/boating_laws.pdf page 5.

If you're 26' or greater and need two, it counts as one. However, you are still required to have a handheld fire extinguisher on the boat in addition. Basically any boat that does not have a gas tank that you can quickly detach and throw overboard needs at least one typ B1 fire extinguisher...
