It's not my fault if the authorities are slow to
process the renewal. My license remains valid
until revoked. When the license renewal is processed
and returned to me the date of issue of the new license
will be the date of expiration of the old one. This
means My license never expired and I can legally
operate under the old one with while the paper
work is being processed.

Since it is not mentioned in the COLREGS you may not be aware that you
cannot use the license during the grace period.

But it's not like you will make any less money with it anyway.
