Waggish got boarded! There are two types of people when it comes to the Coast Guard; those who believe that the CG is all good and here to help us in our time of need, and those that think that the CG is a PITA and nosy and meddlesome and needs to do something worthwhile. My husband always leaned towards the CG is good camp but listened respectfully when I would go on my rants about how the CG is just out to give us grief. And now is definitely likes the Coast Guard.
When I say “we” got boarded, it was actually just my husband and 2 boys. I was happily drinking cocktails at the club, blissfully unaware. The boys were bringing Waggish back from the boatyard after having a bulkhead replaced. We had removed everything from inside the boat in preparation for her facelift. And by everything I’m including fire extinguishers, air horn, and apparently the waste disposal placard. Good timing, eh?
My husband said they were very polite and asked if they could come on board for a “courtesy inspection”. They walked through asking questions while my husband continued back to the slip. Amazingly enough they found adult lifejackets and boat registration. They gave us a whistle (for the noise making device). We were missing several items on their list but they believed Carson when he explained about the boatyard. They didn’t cite us for our shortcomings and you better believe that we are up to regulations now.
Not a very exciting story, but the only one I could come up with at 7am on Sunday.
