Stopped by the Coast Guard today

[PatSea]

I was hailed by the Coast Guard for a vessel check a few years ago as I was coming in the channel to West Harbor. My brother in law happened to be driving my boat at the time. They came alongside and we were advised to continue idling up the channel as they stayed alongside us. They did an abbreviated check - life jackets, fire extinguisher and distress signals. All done quickly, and very professionally, and at the end we had a little idle chat. They asked about our fishing etc.
These people have my utmost respect.

These guys were top shelf professional crewmen. I had no issues and I learned to have my throwable ring out and ready at all times. I am glad I finally got to experience a spot by them.
