nothing but a bunch of youngsters lacking in manners / not like the days of old when the coasties were respectable young men this new breed is well scary ... IME
... not to mention a complete waste of my tax dollars ... all they seem to manage to do around here is hassle the boating community ... and perhaps scare themselves ...
oh yes speed throughout the PS burning fuel up that we paid for for NO reason ... at all ... they are not fooling me nor are they protecting anyone or anything ...
... your kidding yourself if you think otherwise ...
They should go green and make them use sail boats w/a HS dingy hanging off the transom!!! rather than the $454,000.00 a piece runabouts they are using now (built in Tacoma & Anacortes WA) what a rip-off for all US taxpayers!
Just not worth checking in these days ... heck none of then are capable of looking for anything ... with out destroying your interior ... don't ask me how I know ... assholes!
American customs officers IME .... throughout the PNW (excepting maybe Roche Harbor) is not particularly high ... in fact no higher than that of the Afghanistan police force ... (read the latest US News for that little tid-bit of $6 billion wasted)
Your experience may vary ... in fact I hope its better than mine!
