In this picture, can you find what is out of place legally? I see 2 things. This is a pic of our Party on the Lake 2011.

Since I'm wasting time waiting for football, I'll bite.

In addition to no rego numbers on the 'toon, the bowrider rego #s are incorrectly displayed per OH boating laws.

I dont know but would take a hard look at the safety issue with the electrical equipment. Is the power supply secured is way that no one can get electrocuted?

I'm gonna say you didn't have permits for amplified live music because I've been shut down for that more than once. :D
But I don't know the ordinances around your parts.

Only two I can see have been mentioned; no reg on pontoon, improperly displayed in bowrider. Did you see anything else?

Re: Find the legal issue

I see a couple PFD's hanging from a hand rail and at least 7 people on the barge, But there could be more PFD's in a locker somewhere.

And is that a pile of fire wood near the bow of that toon:confused:

The pic is a little deceiving. There are multiple toons that look like one. The close one is nothing but an open deck, a little railing, and a small console at the back. It looks like there are two more (plus the edge of a 3rd) parked perpendicular to the party toon, with the people sitting on the front decks.

No visable displayed permit for an organized public gathering. All equipment in violation shall be confiscated and sold at auction to cover legal fees. And at least one of those in the picture is a wanted felon in another country.

Performing Sweet Home Alabama is illegal in the State of Ohio. Texting while at anchor.

I would say there should be more easily accessible lifevests and possibly a skier down flag to protect the ones in the water...

Re: Find the legal issue

GA_Boater has it right. No registration numbers on the barge (plus no nav lights, but not required if used only during the day) Also the bowrider in the right front corner of the pic has wrongful placement of its registration numbers.

I was hoping to find the one pic I have where there is about 50 boats going the same direction at dusk. All (except one) was showing its stern light and the red bow light. The only one had a green light. It stuck out like a naked man in church :D

The Party on the Lake was a sanctioned event held by the park and marina. After the band on the lake, the park puts on a nice fireworks show over the swimmers beach. You can watch from your boat in the lake, the docks or on the hillside overlooking the beach. Event is held in July and usually the park gets filled to capacity. I missed it last year, but have made it there every year since 1983.

Re: Find the legal issue

uh.....there is more than 2 SS.

you are posting pictures to a public web site of people that you do not have written permission to do so.

this constitutes a breach of trust for your friends.......

this pic is a law suit waiting to happen......worst than playing sweet home alabama in ohio. (by the way,....that is a criminal offence, while texting at anchor is just a fine)

lol
