Boarded!!

[Blueone]

The last time I was boarded they were going to pull up to my strbd, I hollered to them 'stay off my blue gelcoat', I said it nicely though. We were in a narrow spot in the channel with a slight cross wind and I didn't stop, they understood and pulled up to the swim platform so a couple folks could jump on my boat. We motored along with their boat following close behind.

They never went any farther than you see in the photos. All they checked were fire extinguishers in cockpit, life jackets, boat docs, and my ID. When I went below to get papers I invited them in, said I had plenty of extinguishers down there if they wanted to look at them too and left the door open if they wanted to peak in but they declined. It seemed their interest was only in he boat documentation, who we were, where we were going and where we just came from.

We were in Sandusky last weekend and a coast guard boat a bit bigger then the one in your pic pulled up at the next dock to me to get take out for lunch….. 5 of them got off and 2 or 3 stayed on board… I swear not one of them looked over 16… super nice and polite

Follow up... Received the replacement fire extinguisher Saturday (white). They asked if I wanted white as I indicated it was on my boat and the Coast Guard Aux found it was a recalled unit. Anyway, got it in 5 days. FedEx picking up the old one Tuesday.

If your Kidde fire extinguisher has a plastic handle, it's recalled.

Some of the plastic handle ones are not recalled per Kidde. Both of my boat fire extinguishers and home fire extinguishers have the curved handles so were not part of the recall.

There I go assuming... Was told by the Coast Guard Aux all the plastic handles were recalled and I didn't actually read the notice. Sorry 'bout that...

We all learn something. I was hoping for some freebies from Kidde.
