Sometime in the near future we will suffer another terrorist attack inside
the
US. Rather than do the difficult, expensive, and politically unpopular
jobs,
of securing our borders, inspecting commercial imports, etc., the
government
most likely will punish that sector with the smallest voice. Just as was
done
by creating no discharge zones instead of going after municipal sewage
plants
and shore side development; the government, in the name of Homeland
Security,
will be restricting boating to inland lakes and rivers.

Just wait until the next attack, and we may all find out just what is
meant by
the "GUARD" in Coast Guard. Perhaps we should consider selling our
vessels now
before their value drops considerably.

Bwahhahahahahhaha. You must not be doing ANY sailing in waters patrolled by
the CG. In these parts, the Border Patrol, CG and everyone else involved in
policing these international waters actively solicit the aid of the boating
community in acting as unpaid surveillance, which we are happy to do.
