About two weeks ago, I was contacted by Neil McMillin of the USCG asking if I would partake in a voluntary and free boat inspection.

He explained that the goal of this new to our District program, was to help make our waterways more safe. Also to help inform Joe Boater of the rules and regulations on our waterways.

If you happen to be a licensed guide, Neil will go through your paperwork to ensure it's all in order. The end result would be a inspection decal for your boat showing that you have passed the inspection.

Neil explained to me that this program is not a "gotcha" or sting operation. If your boat doesn't pass or your paper work isn't in order, he can suggest what needs to be done, there won't be any tickets issued and the information does not go to enforcement. This program is simply set up for safety and information.

Your boat can be inspected on the water or on a trailer.

For more information on the free inspectons, please contact:
