This summer there has been some heavy press regarding drinking and on the water activities here in the Lowcountry. The attention began with large organized parties of tubers floating down the Edisto River over the 4th of July weekend. Many floaters were consuming large amounts of alcohol resulting in issues with violence, underage drinking and littering. The shift then moved to Aquapalooza the weekend before last then this past weekend to Rockville Regatta where there were over 6 arrests for boating under the influence. When I saw the photo below I thought it may have been a local shot at first. Even though these events have come and gone here in the lowcountry for this summer I found the article below to still be very informative and wanted to pass it on to our readers. So please catch this weeks press release from Boat US.
