Did you know that the Coast Guard is looking for recruits who are very tall, like 6'4" and taller and in case you were wondering why; it's because the Coast Guard is known as the Shallow Water Navy!

Default The club?

Billy Bob:

I hope that your reference to "the club" was just a joke. When you see a US Coast Guard Auxiliary facility (boat) you can be assured that it is manned by highly skilled search and rescue personnel with years of experiance and training to assist the CG and the public.

Did you ever notice that the news never seems to get it right. The Auxiliary and the NHMP are working together, a great new relationship but it won't be underway. The Auxiliary will be mostly working on public education and vessel exams. That is where the news got off course.

The great part of the Irwin show (Thanks Irwins) was to build on a relationship with the US Power Squadron. They are excellent people and really know their stuff. I can remember my step dad doing power squadron work on the Lake in the 50s. So if you hear of the USPS doing public education or vessel exams jump on it.

Thank you, as a member of the Lakes Region Power Squadron, your kind words are appreciated. The education that USPS and USCG Aux do on land will take pressure off the MP on the water!

In December 1975, who called the Coast Guard's action to patrol Lake Winnipesaukee this:

"a blatant usurpation of the sovereignty of our state"

Correct! I wonder what he is thinking right now...in the hereafter that is.

I didn't know that he didn't want the Coast Guard on the Lake until I read this story in the Union Leader:

It just proves that you are a well read person.


Remember the Guardian Angels? They started off as a volunteer organization to combat widespread violence and crime on the New York City Subways. They wear red berets so everyone will know who they are. I guess they are still active and have chapters all over the world.

Could the Coast Guard Auxiliary be doing the same-thing that the Guardian Angels are doing? Protecting the public from all the bad boaters.

Does anyone know if the open container law for adult beverages such as beer DOES NOT apply to boats? It obviously applies to cars, but is it also the law for boats? At least one inquiring mind here wants to know!

From todays Union Leader email comments dept: "I was wondering why there is not an "open" container law when it comes to boats. Is there something special about them that makes them safer when the passengers are all drunk, as opposed to drunk passengers in an automobile?"

....well...well...well...if this is truly the way the law was written....then hat's off to the 424-member NH state legislature for including this notable exclusion into the open container law (?)!

Although there's no open container law for passengers on a boat, unlike autos, there can be multiple BUI's. People acting as lookouts/navigating or person having an essential role in navigation or control of propulsion can't have an open container or be above the limit.

Please show me the NH Law that states that.

I was pointing out what I believe is the difference between boating or driving with open container laws.
I am not sure about NH law but I found this from the Coast Guard.
I had remembered being told this by Marine Patrol in Fla. while boating...again, not sure about NH state law but I would assume it's similar. The key word is "operating". Unlike an auto, the guy behind the wheel isn't the only "operator".


USCG 95.015 Operating a vessel.
For purposes of this part, an individual is considered to be operating a vessel when:
(a) The individual has an essential role in the operation of a recreational vessel underway, including but not limited to navigation of the vessel or control of the vessel's propulsion system.
(b) The individual is a crewmember (including an officer), pilot, or watchstander not a regular member of the crew, of a vessel other than a recreational vessel.
[CGD 84-099, 52 FR 47532, Dec. 14, 1987, as amended at USCG-2006-24371, 74 FR 11211, Mar. 16, 2009]
