Fish On,
Yeah, just a bit anal.....
Seriously though, I think its great that you took the time to print that and laminate it. Esp. if someting ever happened to YOU. Nice job.
Safety contious I am, but I don't think I'd ever have the will for that.

FishOn,
Nice list, and well thought out procedures. Most Rec boaters are way too casual. Anal is OK with me. (When I go on others boats, I take my own bag and in it is my own personal kit and PFD. I just don't want to rely on someone else to save my life.)
The truth is the CG does not mandate everything you really need. You have to assemble your own safety list based on what you do on the water. The CG has a minimum list but they would like to see a lot more. For example, you don't need a first aid kit...is it wise to keep an appropriate size first aid kit on board? You don't have to have an epirb. But for a cost of 300 is is worth it to put a personal epirb on your boat? you-betcha. They require a type III pfd but if you were going in the water would you rather have a type I on? (I would)

no. You must register it and check it every two years. This can be done online and is aimed at keeping the info on there current. (as it comes up on their screen should the eprib go off, (name, boat, contact info, etc)

BEVERLY HARBOR
A few years ago I was coming into the inner harbor on my brother-in-laws Parker. A CG skiff that has the rubber floaties around the gunnel came along side. This hollywood type with the aviators on was hanging off of the skiff staring at my sister-in-law and her friend. The grabbed a couple of towels and covered up the suits they had on. The staring lasted for a good five minutes. I finally leaned over and stared back at the guy. I asked him if their was a problem. He doesn't say anything and they veer off and went back to the outer harbor. It was extremely rude. I figure they were weekenders and not full-time coasties. My sister-in-law is very attractive but what occurred was unacceptable. My brother-in-law couldn't believe I said anything to Mr. Hollywood.
