Yes, but I was ignoring launch tender for purposes of this discussion.

Also, the OUPV near coastal is up to 100 miles offshore.

I am reading this as I write:
Near Coastal
....waters to seaward of the Boundary Line to 200 miles offshore. A near
coastal license may be restricted to a smaller distance offshore, such
as 100 miles.

The license may also be restricted to less than 100 tons if the Coasties
decide that your experience warrants it.

Nitpick away...

Yup, brain fart, my bad - was reading the masters section when writing.
Uninspected license is 100 miles and 100 tons, with Mate endorsement out
to 200 miles, Masters out to 200 miles. Restrictions can apply to
Masters to less than 200 miles, and less than 200 tons in increments
according to experience.
BTW when I ask for nitpicking, its always in the spirit of learning from
you more experienced guys/gals.

Hey, not a problem... I have an OUPV, NC, and was just making sure I wasn't
gypped. :-)
