Skippers who operate vessels under the influence of drugs or alcohol in Western Australia face tough new penalties from December 21.
Skippers who operate a vessel dangerously will now face a maximum fine of up to $36,000 and up to three years in prison.
The previous maximum fine was $1,000.
Western Australia’s new boating laws have been updated for the first time in 40 years, as figures show a rise in on-water incidents.
Navigating under the influence and causing death will lead to a maximum term of 20 years in jail.

Going to Heaven is easy!
First, you must realize that the punishment for committing even one sin, unless you are forgiven, is eternity in hell. To be saved from hell and forgiven of all sin, believe that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again (1 Cor 15:1-4). When you believe that Christ’s atoning work paid for all your sins and when you make Jesus your only hope of going to Heaven, you are forgiven of all sin by God and forever saved from hell. Warning: None of our good deeds can get us into Heaven. If we trust in our own works to get us to Heaven instead of Christ’s atonement, we will not be allowed in. The Bible says “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost” (Titus 3:5). In conclusion, just believe that all your sins are paid for by Jesus’ atoning work and make Christ your only hope of going to Heaven.
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:1
Let’s go Brandon, JESUS FOREVER

You have to drink to survive the sickness. Waves are big.
If you're drinking and driving, make sure you've got your car … or boat.
