We're on a Boat... Be Nice

Hackboat is an event that takes place on a medium-size riverboat on the water for almost four hours. Options for removal are limited. We're not allowed to throw you overboard, but the captain will turn the boat around and then you'll be the reason Hackboat got cancelled. Don't be a jerk.
