Florida authorities made at least a dozen drunken arrests on Sunday during an annual wild boating party called the Boca Bash making a return after a year s hiatus because of the pandemic, according to reports.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission arrested 10 people for boating under the influence and one person for disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest. Boca Raton police arrested one person on charges of resisting arrest without violence.
Other law enforcement agencies will report their citations in the next few days, according to Boca Raton police spokesman Mark Economou.

The Boca Bash was Sunday, and man is it a sight to behold.
What is it? Well, and I’m not sure how it started or by whom, but rumor has it, it started as a Facebook post inviting boaters and partiers to come to Lake Boca (it’s not a lake but that’s what they call a large open area of the intracoastal inside Boca Inlet) to raft up on a Sunday and boy did it catch on!
I live on a canal in Boca, and yes I’ve dealt with drunk idiots driving recklessly in the hood, BUT.it’s one day, and dammit, it makes me wish I was 20 again.
Boats of all sizes were crowding into Lake Boca as early as 8 a.m. on Sunday. But not everyone wants to join the party on the water. "Anyone who’s sane stays away from that,” says one avid kayaker. “It becomes chaos.”
