Captain Mike Strickland with the Mississippi DMR returns to break down Operation Dry Water, Fourth of July boating safety, and what actually gets you stopped on the water. 🚤

We talk probable cause boat stops, impaired boating enforcement, gunnel riding, no wake zones, inflatable PFD rules, engine cutoff switches, and the difference between safety stops and regulatory inspections. Captain Mike also shares real stories from the water, including a runaway boat incident and a Governor’s Award rescue involving an elderly man stuck in the mud with an alligator closing in. 🐊

Topics include:
