You guys have a tough job.
Charged to “Always Be There” when needed.
Yet dreaded when you pull near to inspect us.
The USCG since 1790.

Thank you for your service!

Not really.

Actually the Crew that day, felt more confident.

Copy of my post then....
------------
One time, and they asked...

"Who is the Captain?"

All 3 of my crew immediately pointed at ME! :facepalm:

Thus I am the official Captain. [not skipper]

The Admiral went below for a quick check with him.

I was a bit surprised when they did not ask for the Regulations book, but was shown the USCG registration Document, plus all the hold tanks showed empty and the placards were posted and fire extinguishers showed good.

3 minutes later and polite thank you.

Noted at that time, he wore a Side Arm and had Military Boots too.

Captain Jim...
