I have to take a deep breath
and count down slowly from a pretty big number to keep from screaming
when I hear that Skip is getting a USCG license, but he's cruising.

Skippy is obviously lying about his hours if he is serious about going for a
USCG license. Last time I looked he's gonna need a couple hundred hours
offshore and we all know he's got nowheres near that. Probably lacks the
hours nearshore and inshore as well. But I've demonstrated with facts that's
he's lied about several things so far so I wouldn't put it past him to
falsify his documented time at the helm in order to cheat his way into a
license that he's totally unqualified for . . .

But, the Coast Guard has issued a license to at least one admitted illegal
drug abuser so I guess they have lax standards when it comes to handing out
licenses to those who don't qualify or will be a danger to other boaters.
