Not directly. I have responeded to many Pan Pan's and have issued a
few, and a few Mayday's to help others in , ect.. Helo crashes in the
area, requested to follow weekend warriors in ect. But have never been
approched, boarded, stopped, inspected, ect.......never ever.

I do always check in with traffic control in ports that have them,
approaching all ports I check on the VHF to see if there is any
concerned outbound traffic and ID myself when hitting the seabouy.

I've been stopped by the local yokles on my dink for a lifejacket
check but thats it.
