sheez, tough crowd.

in my defense:

I am known to be sipping beers while working on my boat. Don't think it would have been ready without the aide of beer.

I certainly don't have glass drinking glasses, but have allowed sturdy beer bottles. I am not too worried about a good sam adams bottle breaking easily. But yea, normally it's cans.

This is the same forum that scolded me for putting my beer down once when moving?

we drink cans so we can crush them(I have a crusher mounted to a stick that fits in a rod holder) so they don't take up as much room(easier to hide the evidence). We tend to go thru a lot when offshore fishin(long day), I even have a cup holder attached to my fishin belt so i won't have to set it down when reeling in a big one.

Oh, as a far as the scraper goes, I have several, they are great. Have ya'll seen the scraper that you stick in a sawzall? It gos in instead of a blade, I'm waiting to see if they offer a wires brush to fit in the sawzall.

I tend to agree... In NJ drunken driving on the water earns you a loss of your land drivers license.. So I tend to carry only soda cans out onto the ocean.... But there's a cold Killian's waiting for me when I get home...

My boat is still on a trailer, but agree with you on consumption on the water. I tend to bring a couple with me, but fear of the floating police keeps the consumption down. I don't (or at least haven't yet) go offshore.

I'm with MJ - no alcohol on board, period. It doesn't always result in no worries, but at least not that one.
