I did get a warning for my horn. Every few years that electric horn
gives out, and in the wet weather we have had the last few weeks it
decided to crap out since the last use and just in time for the CG
boarding. I think I'll look into an air horn.

Everyone was very polite and professional but it does make you feel
one step closer to a police state. That will make some happy I
suppose.


Personally, I don't feel that I'm closer to a police state, but I don't want
to be boarded. I don't want to be boarded because I'm afraid that they'll
find something missing from the mandatory list. Then I would have to deal
with either a fine or a shut down of my boating day or embarrassment in
front of my guests ...

I do support the idea of training sessions, but it would be nice if they
would ask permission to board and accept the answer given. Of course, if
they had cause then they don't need to ask my permission except out of
courtesy.
