My reference about "being intimidated by machine guns", I was referring to the general boating public. I know that those of you in the commercial world are not intimidated by them, I was refering to the fact that when a Coast Guard boat used to pull a runabout or fishing boat over for a routine boarding, it used to be a guy in a janitor uniform with at most a 9mm on his waist. Now they are being pulled over by guys that look like commandos with a 9mm, M16, Shotgun over their shoulder, and a***** M240 on the bow and stern, all on a 25' boat....while they are doing the same boarding, the look is much different now. The "show of force" is aimed at others, but they still have to do the same job.
As far as the rest of the conversation, let me just say I hope everyone has a great weekend. I am going to respectfully disagree with some of the comments, and go play on my boat, its sunny and 75 here today.
