Going on a boat ride with me around these waters is about as safe as it gets. Only hit the rocks a handful of times compared to many of the other locals (that includes older locals that fishes for a living or hobby).
Seriously.... if you had seen the jagged coastline and the 100s of shallows and grounds in and around the place i live then i doubt any of you would even dare taking a boat out at more than a few knots.

I guess you could say its like driving a boat down a manhattan sidewalk without hitting people. When you go full speed then your boat sits higher in the water so you have less of a chanse hitting, but a few pints of beer nullifies that advantage pretty fast
