Bored? Or Board?
28 October 2015
Well whoever said that the ICW could be boring, needs to take a trip with us!
This morning we have been "boarded" by the Coast Guard for a safety inspection.
Five guys on a Coast Guard Small Boat came up along side after hailing us on the radio to request permission to board. The first thing the lead officer asks is if we have any weapons on board. We immediately let them know of our attack dog. Poor Chewie.....he does not like intruders as most know how he tries to protect his own yard.
They started with their questions and with their inspection of the bilge, the y-valves, life jackets, flares, placards, and the engine room.
A "no violations" slip and we are back on our way. Greg noted to the lead officer that the coast guard needed to do better with their shoes as they left black marks here and there.
Good for a year (hopefully)!
