Summer is here! And for many of us, that means taking to the water in a desperate attempt to survive the extreme Texas heat. For a few, it means boozing it up on the lake--a perfectly legal activity, but not if you're driving the boat!
Jeff Winkler (VICE magazine, The Awl, The Fix) recently tagged along with the Austin Police Department to observe some of the special challenges that come along with nautical law enforcement. Head over to The Fix for the informative (and entertaining) article!

Remember, folks, boating while intoxicated is incredibly dangerous and risky. The BAC limit and legal consequences for boating while intoxicated (BWI) are the same as those for driving. Make sure you have a designated sober boat driver, and report any intoxicated drivers by calling 911 or 311 (non-emergency). Stay safe!
