There are lots of one-armed sailors.

Actually, on that very question, I spoke with the CG officer responsible
for
the information being updated just yesterday. Glow sticks are acceptable,
as
long as they're CG approved and have an expiration date (they don't last
forever and the camping ones aren't kosher).

OK I've seen them, IIRC they have to be able to be ativated with one
hand.

Definitely two points for the lack of boat name on the PFDs. I don't
believe
a whistle is required, however. I know a light is. If you happen to
have
a
reference for the whistle (a damn good/cheap item)....

I dont have a copy of the CFR aboard. I just remember going thru many
inspections, stenciling, changing batteries, and making sure all
jackets had whistles.
If you have a CFR I bet it's in there.

And as Doug said, I doubt glow stick pass mustard.

You own and operate a commercial vessel under 12 meters upon the
open
ocean
with your OUPV near coastal license. You have the requisite number
of
offshore Type I PFDs purchased approximately one year ago. They are
stowed
in an easily accessible location, have never been opened nor used.
The
passengers have been briefed on their donning and operation. They
have
a
chemical luminescent light attached to each of them, as required by
the
regs.

Unfortunately, you've been randomly boarded by the Coast Guard and
found
not
to be in compliance for two issues related to the lifejackets. One
of
the
issues is kind of nitpicky, but these guys are thorough! The other
is
obviously observed. What are these issues?

5 pts for the nitpicky issue.
2 pts for the obvious one.


New in the pkg means they do not have the boat name stenciled on
them,
and they do not have a whistle.
