What really gets me about this whole thing is how you can be down on the beach, and the cambodians/hispanics/ whatever they are keep every single striper they catch, be it 10" or be it 20". But yet the bust the balls of the responsible guys right?
i think your post will go a long way for other boaters to take heed and make sure that all of their equipment is in perfect order.
thanks for the warning... yes appeal -> as you were just testing the boat out right? BOB?
Just so that you know when you appeal the citation the EPO is going to say that the lights have to be available to the captain twenty-fours hours a day at the flick of a switch, because he is going to say that the weather in New England can get nasty in just a few minutes.
Appeal it.....of course like Hooper said, and the best way to do so is to be ever so humble and just simply ask for a break. Thats what I tell my relatives when they have got tickets. Good luck with it. Was this in Mass? Never have seen and EPO do a safety check. Coast Guard yes, but not a Mass. EPO.
