Greetings,
Mr. B. I don't think Mr. m need take any names. They will be part of the public record and available to anyone...

Are you saying that you’re not the social equal of your Admiral? Perhaps ingesting a few more of those attractive tropical cocktails would help. Additionally, a rapid acquisition of one of those 1/2 acre catamarans would probably attract more guests.

Well that’s mighty kind, sir! Can I bring my worm farms?

Greetings,
Mr. W. Just a couple of comments...Our Mr. fb inferred that this junket was "...good enough for RTF...". I never said or intimated anything of the sort. The conditions of my parole stipulate that I am NOT to associate with "troublemakers", to put it politely. Further, I do not wish to jeopardize my good standing with Bahamian Customs and Immigration officials by being put on the watch list.



Regarding your worm farm and entry into the Bahamas. IF your worms are family pets they may have to have a recent veterinary certificate of health. IF they are bait...Shame on you. Family pets indeed!

Mr. RTF, You've slipped up, and the truth has finally come to light.
It's you who has the history (criminal record) as a troublemaker (as parole often stipulates no association with the same riffraff). While I find your actions commendable in not drawing us amateur troublemakers over the line with guilt by association, it does concern me that the Bahamian government is willing to overlook your record in pursuit of money.

Ted

No it doesn't. Have yet to encounter a government entity, national, state, country, or local that allowed morality to get in the way of collecting money.

USCG doesn't charge for most rescues even if the boaters were totally at fault for a variety of inexcusable reasons....

Morality? Good SAR policy? Service to public? I dunno….you all decide

From an online dictionary:

Entity: an organization (such as a business or governmental unit) that has an identity separate from those of its members

Don't confuse those in Washington with the honorable civil servants in the field (sea).

RT, they don't do background checks when you enter and there is no way the ankle bracelet will survive the salt air on the trip over. Once it falls off you will be safe as your ne'er-do-well status will be well hidden. As for Wayfarer's worm collection, I never turn down free bait!

I doubt I would be floating by the time the departure date comes, but I do like the idea of a buddy boat when going outside US mainland waters. I've only boated between NC and FL, around and just outside, ICW. I've been offshore in NC and SC and not far at that.

This sounds like too much fun to pass up. I might even have family in town during the Rendezvous. If I can get Curly (SOF) to join us, I'll commit to being there. I may need a chauffeur one night.
