In the midst of all this madness, I was spotted by the Coast Guard and deemed to be a clear threat to homeland security. I was pulled over for a safety check. anybody see the contradiction here? he wasn't stopped for security, as he admits. he was stopped for a safety check. and that is part of the CG's mission. if you disagree with it, get the law changed. don't complain about the CG. they're just doing their job. Don't get up in arms - there was lot of tongue-in-cheek in that post. I think everybody agrees that the USCG goes a great job. Later, Tom Thanks for noticing the tongue-in-cheek. Apparently, Bob had a bad day before he wrote his message. Went to the CG station today to clear up the situation. I brought photos of the boat's interior, and they agreed that a fire extinguisher was, in fact, not required. But, three guys came to the desk and brainstormed about places I might consider putting one anyway. Finally, I asked "If you were in this boat and the engine caught fire, how many of you would play with a fire extinguisher, and how many of you would throw on a vest and go over the side?" The consensus was "Hmmmmm...good question". Personally, I'd swim. |
