Return to WhimSea's Home Port.
Posted by Karen A. Brown We were at the marina this past weekend visiting with some of our dockmates when we heard a story about a drunken sailor that sounded absolutely unbelievable. So, of course I looked it up. Here's the text from the Duluth News Tribune, printed August 2, 2006: -------------------------------- Looking for the light Minnesota Conservation officers Chris Johnson, Keith Olson and Mike Scott were patrolling the waters near Duluth recently when they heard an apparently intoxicated boater on the marine two-way radio ask the Coast Guard to turn on the lights at the Superior Light House. But it wasn't dark yet. The voice on the radio sounded a bit slurred and confused. Officers later stopped a boat without lights after sunset and found an impaired operator. The Coast Guard took the operator to its station for testing. The vessel was towed to Barker's Island. FYI... the lights are automatic and the Coast Guard doesn't turn them on. ---------------------------- Unbelievable!
