We've been through
this before so all of our equipment was well in order, then they asked
for our boat documentation and "identificaion for everyone on board".
Since our passports were with the boat doc, I handed them in thinking
there could be no better proof of citizenship and ID. It turned out
they wanted driver's licenses however so they could run a search on
the NCIS database in the hope they could find unpaid parking tickets
perhaps? It was tempting to tell them that we didn't need drivers
licenses to be out there but discretion overruled that impulse. At
any rate we finally got a clean bill of health and were on our way.

That would be interesting for me. We never carry our driver's license
on the boat. I have an expired CCW but that is the only ID I carry on
the boat.
My wife may not have anything.

They better pass a federal "show your papers" law if they want to
enforce this bull****.
BTW the only time I have ever been boarded by the CG, they never
looked for anything but drugs. In a few minutes they kicked us loose.
(after my dog ****ed all over their boat)

I agree that it's bull****. And I'm glad your dog ****ed all over their
boat!!
