Vessel Safety Inspection
Allen, my friend from the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Dunedin Flotilla came over to my house and inspected the Astus tri. These inspections are conducted as a professional courtesy to the boating public to review all of the safety system on the boats; lighting, life jackets, fire extinguisher, first aid, radio and nav gear. Pretty straight forward really. Have to set an example for our flotilla. Also the the BoatUS sticker can become a talking point when others are looking at the boat. Also the water LEOs and Coast Guard recognize the sticker and appreciate that the captain keeps his boat is good safe order. Cookie the Coton has her PFD and ready for sailing lessons.
