Good try. I'll give you a 1/2 point. But, that's not it.

You mentioned the Marpol, what about the ''oil discharge''
placard. Does that only need to be displayed near the
engine?

You've been randomly boarded by the Coast Guard. You are
just outside the
demarcation line.

You have a documented vessel under 12 meters and a
6-pak, near coastal
ticket. Upon a thorough
inspection by the CG, you're found to have all of the
proper safety
equipment in place and it is up-to-date. In addition,
you have the
documentation number posted, the documentation paperwork
for the boat, the
proper charts, and a copy of the Navigation Rules. The
boat is properly
marked on the hull, you have your original license, and
have not exceeded
the limits of your license in any way. The marpol
sticker is aboard. Since
you usually sail on Inland waters, the head is disabled
from pumping over
the side in the proper fashion.

In fact, one of the boarding party remarks that you have
generally
exceeded the requirements. But, of course, they're not
finished with their
inspection.

They interview your six passengers (you don't carry
crew) and find
everything is in order. For example, you've briefed them
on the use of
emergency equipment and shown them the location of
fire-extinguishers and
similar.

This particular boarding party is exceedingly thorough,
and unfortunately,
they find that you're missing one item of paperwork.
You're cited for
this.

Name this document.

IIRC I looked that one up because my placard is on the
engine access door, which is blocked by the companionway
steps.

Easy. The pollution sticker.

BTW my first thought when you mentioned "paperwork" was that
with the head disabled for inshore, you wouldn't be carrying TP.

DSK

Nope... :-) Not so easy... the sticker is there.

Don't have a ham aboard... also isn't that for larger vessels for
radiotelephone?

MROL permits are required to operate radiotelephone
stations aboard certain vessels that sail the Great Lakes.
They are also required to operate radiotelephone stations
aboard vessels of more than 300 gross tons and vessels
which carry more than six passengers for hire in the open
sea or any tidewater area of the United States. They are
also required to operate certain aviation radiotelephone
stations and certain coast radiotelephone stations.

I thought it was a requirement for vessels sailing offshore.
Perhaps the rules changed.
