I guess you look honest.

How many here have ever been stopped by the USCG?

What did they do?


Yes, a couple of times. Most recently in Charleston, we were
down there with relatives including our two beautiful
teen-age nieces. They were sunbathing on the upper deck and
a number of boats came close to look, including some racers
in the E-Scow district regatta. Can't blame the Coasties for
doing the same, I'm sure some of those E-Scow sailors would
have come aboard too if they could have thought up a good
excuse.

All the times we have been boarded by the USCG they have
been very professional. I always ask them to sign our log, too.
