I have never been inspected by the CG Aux but my ex-wife in the
flotilla groupenfuerer up there in Md somewhere. (B. Allen) Does that
count? ;-)
The only time the real CG boarded me they were looking for druggies
and I was beached on the Gulf at 3am. Other than the M-16 and the
shotguns it was pretty uneventful. My dog ****ed all over their life
jackets and they sent us on our way, never asking to see my (out of
date) flares.
The Florida Marine Patrol stopped me once but he was looking for fish
and I don't. He did give me a superficial inspection as general
conversation "I like the way your boat is set up, life jackets in that
box?" sort of thing. In a couple minutes he had seen everything and I
didn't feel "boarded" Classy guy.
The only other time I was boarded was a sherriff/CG sweep.
The inspection, again was superficial, it was mostly "who are you and
why are you here" sort of stuff. Again with the guns.
Bushes (all 3) were at Coconut point, a couple miles away tho.


Lots of CG boarding on the San Francisco area. Maybe it is just training,
but they will board while you are out salmon fishing. They will wait if you
have a fish on. They are always courteous.
