Maybe back in the day when people paid by the byte or only had very low
bandwidth. It made a big difference then. But today it doesn't matter.

So try moving out of the 80s and get something faster than a 300 baud
modem.

I am sure that some enterprising FL resident could also file Freedom
of Information Act requests for all the different stops. That may be
what the paper will do.

Finally we have the beginning of useful information.

Now you need to find out something about the organizational structure
of your local FFWCC and start filing complaints with his senior
management.

If I were stopped by FFWCC I would refuse to let them aboard my boat
unless they had USCG with them or unless I was fishing.

OK, that makes sense. That is who I have always had a problem with. He
was moved out of the Sarasota area because of his crap.

I was running a boat documented in the Cayman Islands and he tried to
tell me it needed to be registered in Florida. He even claimed he was
filing a report with the Dept. of Rev.. Nothing, of course, came of
it.

I can only wonder at the amount of money he wastes in his pay and
other peoples time by pulling this BS.

Nonsense. Find out who bribes the state politicians with "campaign money"
and simply turn off the tap until this joker has been sent packing. Start
a letter writing campaign to your state politicians and ask them,
pointedly, how you should vote in the next election.....
