Apparently the Feds got a hell of a deal on Ribs and a big budget for gas, because everybody has got a couple of them it seems.

While lingcod fishing this Spring off Cattle Point, San Juan Island, we were visited by US Customs, the DEA and the Coast Guard all within two hours. None of them boarded us, but Customs and DEA both stopped and asked the usual questions, how long have you owned the boat, what are you fishing for, what's your home port, etc. The Coast Guard circled us, but didn't stop. I'm sure those three, 300 horse outboards on the ribs burn lots of fuel.

Your tax dollars at work I guess?
