Do these persons actually exist or are they just a myth? If they exist,
why are there still so many unlicensed boats about?
I fully accept that not all boats not showing a licence are unlicensed
but I think we all agree that the probability of the engine-less wrecks
that are covered in mildew not having a licence is pretty strong and yet
these boats still litter our waterways in large numbers.
