Sure it was the CG and not the Aux, or maybe Sheriff Dept.
Must have been a slow and boring day for someone.

Definitely Coast Guard. Says so on the boarding report. And, nobody else
around here has the interesting new boats that the CG uses. They were the
subject of a news article in the sports/boating section of the local paper.
They've got a v-hull with a huge styrofoam surround, sort of like a pontoon
boat. Just spoke to another boarding officer on the phone. After he got done
explaining that I shouldn't have been cited for the extinguisher, I asked
him how the boats are on Lake Ontario chop. He said "Anything more than a 3
ft chop and it makes you wanna **** blood at the end of the day". :-)

And the Lord said "Go and sin no more". :)

I rode in one of those this summer after my "incident" in the St
Lawrence Seaway. They've got cushioned air ride seats for the
Quartermaster and the crew.

But after all day, who knows.

Later,

Tom

Um.....well, this happened, that happened and over the side I went.

Eventually to be pulled out by the USCG.

Thus the ride back to the dock because I wouldn't set foot in that
guides boat ever again.

Take care.

Hmmm. Sounds funny, but that's just me. :-)
