Coast Guard Regs

All you sport fisherman, you might want to check the expiration date on your Flares and your Fire extinguishers. We have been checking that a lot in the Beaufort, NC area and a lot have been expired. Just want to give you all a heads up.

Thanks a lot. Even though I am no where near NC I am stationed in Guam and I just wanted to say Thank you for giving everyone that comes on here the heads up about what you are looking for! That is very thoughtful of you and I know that not all Coasties would give that for warning!

Thanks again,

Jeremy

Ft Lauderdale area has been the same and a bunch do not even have flares or thier papers...oh my people are goofy! after converting our bertram 28 to outboards we look like a "hauler" anyway... I do wonder how much weight we could float with...

i was boarded by the Coast Guard 2 weeks ago for a safety inspection. I offered to produce my flares but they said it was a daytime inspection and they weren't doing flares or Nav lights
