ok heres the thing with the 4th of july coming up. we are planning a large get together and my wife has invited her cousin which is a heavy drinker, and careless. I have had her on my boat one time before while drinking and she WILL not listen to my directions, wont sit down is all over the boat dancing and has knocked me into the throttle causing an unexpected idle to WOT incident which almost caused 2 people to go overboard. now first let me say my stance is she is not allowed on my boat drinking EVER again. my wife is upset really bad because I told her that if her cousin drinks she is not allowed on the boat. and I explained why. however I have a few buds that drink on my boat, but they don't get rowdy or disregard rules or cause any distraction to me while safely operating the boat. and your remarks wont change my mind its my rules and my boat, I just want to get your input on your thoughts as to how to handle it. my safety as well as other people on board and other boaters is important to me.
