funny.
completely off the wall, but funny.
FYI: First dredged in 1965 and is NOT a designated Federal Harbor of
Refuge!
Are you absolutely sure? Better check again! You've been wrong on
almost every point so far. You are on a streak!
Almost every point makes a streak? So which points have I been correct on?

" Harbor of safe refuge means a port, inlet, or other body of water
normally sheltered from heavy seas by land and in which a vessel can
navigate and safely moor. The suitability of a location as a harbor of
safe refuge shall be determined by the cognizant Officer in Charge,
Marine Inspection, and varies for each vessel, dependent on the vessel's
size, maneuverability, and mooring gear."
The burden of proof remains upon you to show that it is a Federally
Designated Harbor of Refuge. I'll make it easy for you. Point out the
section he
