EP Officer with nothing better to do

[Swimmer]

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.
