We were boarded in the rip at the Race at 9:30 on a Friday night. (2 coast guard and a NY state trooper) The strange thing was we were never asked to show a fishing lic or a boating lic. They just wanted to check safety gear. Kind of ironic to have a safety inspection in such a treacherous area.
The CG has no jurisdiction over state laws...(Fishing & Boating licenses)...The State Trooper is not a DEC officer therefore he was out for the ride??? so ditto (maybe).
being that the race is one of the more treacherous places around with a good wind against tide, maybe thats why they checked for safety equipment there??????
who knows

In Bombings, we blame the Bomber. In Drunk Driving deaths we blame the Driver. In Shootings we Blame the Gun ??
