It is a $1,000.00 fine to if you are found with a safety violation, and the CG is in full force inspecting all vessels. Inspections have started this weekend. Not having a 2009 sticker is a clear indication to check you first.
There was a pre-inspection program going on at my Marina – and boy and I glad I participated. I was out of date on flairs (only last 1 year) and the marina had them in stock.
That same day (yesterday) we anchored along the shore line, when the Coast Guard came by – boat to boat – saw my new 2009 sticker and moved on. The boat anchored a few down from me was not so fortunate. The CG boarded, and performed a safety inspection.
If you don’t have one – get it.:thumbsup:
