The USCG that boarded me near Ft Myers Beach Fl had a M16, a shotgun and M9
sidearms.

==========================

You're talking about my new back yard play area here. :-) What were
they looking for?


Damifino. It WAS about 2 AM on the beach at Lovers Key, just outside the BC
bridge. They came up on me, lights out, in the RIB and lit us up like daylight.
I assume they thought it was a drug deal or something. After shaking us out a
few minutes and telling me I couldn't get to the Estero river from there they
kicked us loose. Then followed us as far as they dared toward the river. I'm
not sure when they figured out my dog ****ed on their life jackets. Serves them
right for not having them on I guess ;-)
They did know they were "boarded" though and they tossed the dog back on my
boat before they kicked us.

Look at the links for the aerial photograph links. Print the 1999 pictures on a
black and white printer (laser is best) and they will help you get around the
back bays. The deeper water shows darker on there IR photos. They are around 8
meg and you can blow them up to a great level of detail without losing
resolution.
The pictures go back to 1944.
