One fun memory with my boat,,,here I am, head of the launch line, others behind me, and a county marine deputy decides to check my dinghy out for safety equipment. Life jackets, yes..sound device, yes...the list goes on, he checking his little form...all kosher. (everybody in line fuming...being held up from launching)
Then he asks if I have a coast guard approved gas can. I say no. Ditto a coast guard approve spark arrestor muffler.
He starts writing feverishly, I stand there grinning. Then he scans the mast, the furled main...and says: "Why...why, you don't have a motor."
No schmidt, shylock...
Others behind me start laughing loudly...
