My hypothetical post was made using the assumptions she may have property rights under Alaskan law to low water line. It also assumes she was actually driving the boat , and that she was “on her property “.
And to the main point of my post, it really is not relevant where it happened. IMO she needlessly endangered lives for something that wasn’t life threatening.

She may very well 'own the bay' or at least a single piece of land where her rights extend to the point that you can't access the bay without trespassing on her land. .
Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....
