Big applause to our United States Coast Guard and their continued diligence at keeping our country safe. Three good stories from this past week. Saving Lives and Guarding the Coast Since 1790. The United States Coast Guard — Proud History. Powerful Future.
Boarding Team
The U.S. Coast Guard must like Mayari. Within a span of about two weeks, they’ve boarded us once, I thought they might board us a second time, and we also had a low pass flyover from a Coast Guard Falcon.
The boarding took place in Biscayne Bay. Three Coast Guard officers (they may have actually been enlisted men but I don’t know how the ranking system works in the Coast Guard) pulled up to our stern in a RIB and asked “How long has it been since you’ve been boarded by the Coast Guard?”. To which I replied “We haven’t”. To which they replied “Well, we can take care of that”. They proceeded to come aboard and did a standard safety inspection, which we passed with no faults. They were actually very professional about the inspection and were friendly. One thing they told me was that if we get boarded again in the next year, we can show them the inspection paper and may not have to get inspected again.
