Coast Guard Inspections
in a former life I used to be a coastie. The way i was trained is that the cg
aux decal is not a way to avoid a boarding. what the decal does is let the boarding officer know that the vessel had a SAFETY insepection, and that the B/O doesn't have to waste time counting fire extinguishers , flares, and PFD's. As far as why you were boarded? probably cause it is early in season, and the coasties do have to show that they have been out doing thier job. One of the reasons i got out of the CG was i really didn't like the law enforcement aspect of the mission. and I suspect that since 9-11 that aspect has definitely been emphasized. IMOP Jared Crane |
