Boating Accidents down in 2013

I thought he had been promoted to Captain, either last year or the year before. Or am I dreaming in his behalf?

I also wonder if last year's statistics may be down more due to the not so great summer weather than boater education. I know our boat use was down quite a bit last year over the 2012 season. Additionally, the Marine Patrol staff had been cut dramatically last year, if I remember correctly, and that could also account for a reduction is citations. Fewer officers on patrol equals less chances to catch the violators.

Fewer accidents and especially fewer deaths are always good news and I'm glad to hear that news. Maybe my recent skepticism on the boater training is unfounded, maybe something is sinking in.

On the other hand, fewer arrests are not always a good sign. Surely less crime is good, but fewer arrests can because of less crime or fewer police.

There was an announcement last year or the year before that Dunleavey was promoted to Captain, and I can remember the title Captain on a letterhead. Sounds like the reporter is being biased? (Most reporters are
