There was an incident a few years ago involving a large yacht travelling
the ICW and the CG. I forget the details but the yacht was stopped and
searched very few miles by yet another bunch of curious Coasties.
Finally the owner blew up and got jail and confiscation for his trouble.

USCG has become sensitive to the issue of repetitive boardings. The
key to avoidance is to ask for, and save, the so called "yellow sheet"
issued after a boarding. If you have a yellow sheet on board showing
a clean inspection within the last 6 months, they will let you go
unless there is some other probable cause.

Last time I got one they told me it would be good for a year. But, that was some time ago, well
before 9/11.
