    Bizarre Encounter Between A "Captain" & USCG

    The idiot in the video posted this on a Facebook boating page, so I thought I would help get him the attention he so desperately needs. Be sure to read the email under the description that was addressed to the USCG after the boarding. It's somewhere between entertaining and bizarre, but it should be good for a laugh.

    Anybody else on here work on their engine below deck while naked?

    Piece of work. Know he’ll act the same when he’s sinking. Might be time for a quick bottom job on the way to save him.

    Oh sweet mother of pearl, another sovereign citizen. There's a planet full of nuts out there and here's your proof. They plague law enforcement on the highways, it was only a matter of time before they showed up on the water.

    Between them and flat-earthers I think humanity is doomed.

    I have been boarded twice, years ago, once for a running light out (didn't realize it had burnt out) and once for a routine boarding. Both were done in ten minutes. These guys are professionals and know what they are doing, they do it hundreds of times a year of not more. They were remarkably patient with this stupid idiot and his pigpen of a boat.

    I suspect he's making ALL of it up.

    I have been boarded several times. Once I was followed across a small bay to my house. Was very surprised at the tactic but very professional. Years ago in a 46 Bertram on the way back from Key West by the time I realized it was so rough I was not comfortable turning the boat around so plugged away at 16 MPH in serious 6 footers with a few let’s just say bigger thrown into the mix. It’s a story in itself 😄. Anyway customs plane spotted us as the only boat crossing that day. Stopped us of Of Marco Island. These guys did a very thorough search and could not have been more polite or professional. Comply and .... well you know.
