Most marinas will do it for free if you stay a night or fill up with fuel. You can bet there will be no green line leaving our boat during our time here in Florida, it's just not worth it!!Laura and Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896070726300067146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230081621541501390.post-68966097608984986532011-01-30T16:54:24.795-05:002011-01-30T16:54:24.795-05:00Laura and Hans

NOTE the one thing they will fine you on every time is not having your waste valves locked down in the no discharge zones. Along the treasure coast area they just board and walk straight to the head, pour green die in to the head and start pumping. If you leave a green line its a big fine.<br />Enjoy your trip, we have some great water way sights to see and nice people to meet.SV/SailAwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433241644189037813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230081621541501390.post-33207222261123421452011-01-30T14:16:10.698-05:002011-01-30T14:16:10.698-05:00From what I've heard, the Coast Guard is very ...From what I've heard, the Coast Guard is very active in Florida although I'm not sure why. I find it a bit disconcerting but unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it. I will have a huge problem though if they add a 'how clean is your boat' clause because right about now I'd get a huge fine!Laura and Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896070726300067146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230081621541501390.post-13496145064282563842011-01-29T11:56:09.743-05:002011-01-29T11:56:09.743-05:00Here's hoping you have a great (and uneventful...Here's hoping you have a great (and uneventful) weekend!Mid-Life Cruising!http://www.mid-lifecruising.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230081621541501390.post-44026847352461766182011-01-29T11:48:52.701-05:002011-01-29T11:48:52.701-05:00Another exciting day in the adventures of the Knot...Another exciting day in the adventures of the Knotty Cat! Wow, does the Coast Guard just make random "visits" like that? I guess with all the Homeland Security stuff, that's a given? Glad you all had some company and enjoyed the evening with friends. I know Wilbur enjoyed himself...what a hambone! :o)<br /><br />XOXO,<br /><br />CyndiCyndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06390176368906851223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230081621541501390.post-85568021698050626592011-01-29T11:30:09.351-05:002011-01-29T11:30:09.351-05:00I've heard many stories of these Coast Guard b...I've heard many stories of these Coast Guard boardings. I find it ridiculous that the same agency that tells us to do things the safest way possible (like wearing a life jacket in a duck pond) would board vessels in the manner that they do.<br /><br />If the officer had fallen between the boats as you describe, I doubt there would be anyway to avoid being run over by his boat and probably hit by the propeller.<br /><br />This macho sha-zit has got to stop. I wonder what they would do if I just stopped my boat and said "I'd rather you board this way"<br /><br />GhostAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
