BOARDED BY HOMELAND SECURITY

26 September 2014

Prepare to be boarded!!!!

I had my headphone in and scrubbing the decks... not paying much attention around me, when I got that strange feeling like I'm being watched! I turned around and sure enough, a security boat was trailing me about 50 feet away. I guess he was running my boat name in the computer database or something.
He then moved along side and said "this should only take a few minutes" and two guys jumped aboard while I was steaming at 5 knots.

Lucky for me, I had all my paperwork nice a neat in a three ring binder!!! AND.... good thing My lovely wife made sure I had all up-to-date emergency gear! The Coast Guard guy asked to see the usual stuff... fire extinguishers, first aid, flares and the head. He said "Sir, you are the FIRST boat all season that has all the required safety gear and none of it was expired!" Thanks honey for insisting I go buy ALL NEW GEAR! (all my stuff was expired!!!! haha)

Here's a few shots of prepping the boat for the long ride NORTH to Gig Harbor, Wa. It took about 5 hours to prep and load her up.

Here's a few shots of my 1985 28 foot Bristol Channel Cutter (BCC) built in Vancouver, BC. She's a full keel fiberglass hull with teak and mahogany wood throughout. She's powered by a Volvo 28hp diesel.

I had a great day learning how to sail my BCC. The learning curve was a little steeper than I had anticipated. The day ended pretty crappy... I couldn't get the engine out of gear and I plowed into the back side of a large powerboat in the slip next to me. OUCH!

This was the first day on board Junessa. I looked in every corner on board and climbed to the top of the mast! I had Chinese food and Corona Beer then feel asleep to some beautiful candle light and music.
