Captain Morgan 3- BOARDED by the COAST GUARD!


As if 7 hours of the worst weather we've ever experienced on the water wasn't bad enough, a Coast Guard  inflatable Gunship came out of nowhere with lights flashing aimed right for us. My first thought- HOLEY MOLEY, here comes the Po-Po! Through radio communication they announced that they were boarding the vessel for a safety inspection. What???? We had our STICKER from our recent Gulf Harbour inspection.  Captain Morgan showed it to the two combat booted "officers"- but to no avail. (They also had holtstered WEAPONS!) Thank Goodness Tyler knew where the flares were because I had a certain amount of panic inside as two OTHER officers hovered in their vessel alongside. But after the 12  point inspection, they offered up two great places to eat dinner in Marathon. WHEW! Scary stuff but  because of the previous GH inspection, Captain Morgan 3 passed with flying colors!
