I know a lot on this board are from the States.
* * My question is... In the States, those who operate
boats and *do
NOT yet have a Pleasure Craft License, when does the CG
say you have
until the "Grandfathered Clause" runs out?
* * Up here in Canada, Media is spewing the statement
that you MUST
have a PC License THIS YEAR. The PC Manual thats being
handed out says
2009. Confusing, isnt it?
I guess I'll go by the book, but wondered what the USCG
would say.
The CG only enforces when necessary and even then, it's
only to
Federal law - local safety rules is up to what ever agency is
responsible for where you are. *USCG only check for
compliance with
safety rules that apply to their jurisdiction.
In CT, there is a requirement to have a Certificae of
Operation which
is required to operate a boat or PWC - anythinig with an
engine or
electric motor. *Local and state LEO are responsible for
safety, speed
and other violations within their jurisdiction. *For
instance, in
Stonington, CT (mystic/niantic/new london/pawcatuck),
there is a local
license for kids under 16 which is the state minimum.
Other states also require something similar, but not all
by any means.
I do know that in CT, if you are operating a boat under a
foreign
license (like UK or EU), that is acceptable as long as
it's current.
There may be local residency laws you have to pay
attention to like
length of stay before you are taxed for useage (don't ask
- it's a
complicated subject around here), but as far as operation
goes, ifyou
are legal where you are, you are legal.
Unless it changed recently, Connecticut has a two tiered
PWC requires slightly
more instruction and a few more test questions) Safe
Boating Certificate, and
has reciprocity with some states (NY Mass, RI.) *If you are
in CT waters for
more than 60 days during a calendar year, you have to have
a CT safe boating
cert. Rental boats do not require you to have a Cert for
rentals 2 weeks or
less. There are NO exceptions for PWC. PWC operation
requires a cert no matter
where you are from or how long you are here.- Hide quoted

Are you trying to say you can rent a boat and drive it in CT
for up to
two weeks if you don't have a cert. Cause if that is what
you are
saying, I suggest you are way wrong. That is one of the reasons
Chimney Point rentals went out, cause everyone driving a
boat here
needs a cert... Period..
Sec 15-140e-4 *Exemption for operators of rental vessels

well, the page won't load for some reason but I suppose it is
what you
say. All I can say is WOW, I never knew that, was it in the
origional
law or redone later??
The page is a .pdf file. You must not have the free adobe
acrobat reader
installed on your computer. You might want to get the reader,
as that is how all
the downloads for tax forms for state and federal are provided
these days. If
you go to the "publications and forms" part of the IRS website
there is a link
to download the free reader.

It was an addition to the law, dated 2004. I would have cut and
pasted the text,
but that doesn't work with PDF files.- Hide quoted text -

PDF file? What's that? Adobe reader, what's that? Gimme a
break.. You
must be a 'puter expert of something...
Mozilla-based browsers don't seem to like the URL that was
offered up. Dunno why. Got nowhere with it with Firefox, but
Internet Exploder opened it properly. I have Adobe Reader, the
full Adobe Acrobat and Foxit, and was unable to open the file
with any of them via Mozilla.

I use Firefox and have absolutely no trouble with PDF's. Sounds
like a personal
problem.

What are you, Loogy's father? Are you assuming that because you use
Firefox and have no issue, all your settings in every aspect of
every program that relates to clicking on a URL and opening it are
the same as all of my settings?

Keee-rist. We are drowning in simple-minded idiots.
Lets not lose sight of the fact that it's YOU that's having a
problem, not me. I
guess that establishes you as the simple-minded idiot.

*I* am not having a problem with the URL, my Firefox set-up is, and
with that URL alone. If it bothered me enough, I'd track down the
reason and either change a setting or send in a problem report. But
since I don't rent boats in Connecticut, I don't give a sh*t.

Boink.

BTW, I am not the only Firefox user who reported the problem. Suck on
that for a while.

I know you think you are special and unique, but that doesn't mean I ever
thought you were the only one having the problem. Your endless claims of
superior computer knowlege may have made folkscome *to expect that you
at least
know the basics. Guess not.

Everything you add here makes you look dumber and dumber. Did you read
my response? If the problem bothered me enough, I would track it down
and resolve it. But the problem didn't bother me enough, so I didn't
bother with it.

Here it is, the I don't care about it anymore because I am getting my
ass kicked.

Try responding to the information in the post to which you are
responding, else you look as stupid as your son, Loogy.

Where's your son?- Hide quoted text -

Harry feels the need to try and insult me. He does that to anyone who

Lobster boat?
Hatteras?
Dad went transatlantic in a 20' runabout and got a fireboat welcome in
NY?
Single handed around the horn?
Sailed from S.F. to Hawaii?
Wouldn't one think that there would be newspaper articles, pictures,
etc. of such incredible things and feats?
