What kind of life vest do you have?

[size 2] They don't bug you for a vest in Calif but they will get you for Nav Lights before dawn and after dusk.[/size]

[size 2] I found some that run on batteries for a bow and stern light when I was out real early once. Harbor Patrol was trippin, but it was legal. [/size]

[size 2] It all depends on the Harbor Patrol Officer too. I had one once tell me I had to register my pontoon which is powered by oars only, in Calif![/size]

[size 2] I told him he better read up on the boating laws because your wrong.[][/size]

[size 2] He said well I will write you a ticket and see what happens. I said go ahead then I will make a fool out of you in court.[shocked][/size]

[size 2] So he started to write me a ticket, I got on my marine handheld and hailed the Coast Guard. [unsure][/size]

[size 2] Alamitos Bay CG come on and I asked them if I had to register a 7' pontoon using oars only.[/size]

[size 2] They said no you don't. I made sure I had the radio loud enough so the Sheriff heard. I said you still want to write that ticket?[/size]

[size 2] He basically said have a nice day and left.[][/size]
