[Rhodes22-list] Of drunks and flies

[Herb Parsons]

Now see, I obviously haven't sailed enough yet. When I read that 2/3
number, I immediately thought of Clintonesque activites aboard.

A few years ago, the Ontario Tourism Ministry did a 10 year study of 
recreational boating drowning.  Over 2/3 of the dead guys had their
flies open and 
they died drunk.  The assumption is, while relieving themselves they
either 
capsized their boats or fell in.

The moral of the study is to use your head.  If you don't have a head,
wear a 
PFD (they're easy to put on if you have no head).
