No. I'm sure the routine safety items, etc. would have been handled
quite thoroughly, had we been boarded, including what direction our
'Y' valves were pointed.

The 'proctology exam' we got over the VHF focused upon who all of us
were (Captain and crew), where we'd been, where we were going, and
upon ownership of the boat.

They also asked for my date of birth. I had been expecting a birthday
card from them, but they missed it last year. My chances of receiving
one this year seem to be a bit more remote.

This sounds more like potential drug interdiction than the usual anti-Cuba
patrol. Ever since the USCG became the anti-trafficking cops, they've been
worthless for nearly everything else. You must have convinced them you
weren't a trafficker, or they'd have ushered you into port somewhere.
