They may mess with you now and then, but they are kind of cool the way they have helicopters and just love to pull dumb ass boaters like me out of the water in a storm when you are thinking you are going to die your boat is sinking . I kind of enjoy seeing them fly over me. and they usually give you a warning which is no big deal.

Fish Cops boarded me a few years back. He started writing tickets as soon as he boarded without asking questions. My boat is ugly but everything works as should. After an hour+ inspection he finally got a ticket to stick when he broke my throwable flotation device over his knee. Always film these guys.

[@dungareenavy5970]

Got a courtesy inspection from the Coast Guard Auxiliary once. They failed me because I did not have an overboard discharge sticker on a 23 foot boat with no through hull and a porta potty, which was a mistake on their part. Toward the end of the inspection I was of course tired of nonsense and was asked if I had any boater safety courses in my lifetime. So I said to him, does 8 years in the United States Navy count? He got really grumpy and left my boat.

I am a ex coastguard back in the day when we were allowed to salvage a personal boat before the thieving salvage company’s. We were respectful to the safety of the boaters and we did boardings only in safe waters. We had to beach our sailboat a few years ago because of a thru hull problems and were taken on water faster than we could pump we called the Coast Guard to advise them of our situation not for aid and all they were interested in was were we discharging any oil and were we doing harm to the sea grass didn’t even ask if we were ok thank goodness for the pirates at SeaTow and the fact that we had coverage. Kinda put a bad taste in my mouth but I for the most part am glad they are there.

[@kbc1883]

@@robertbraun7155 Yes, both can be true! They are very similar: one is on the macro level and one on the micro level. Our founding fathers were cognizant of the need for both and went to great lengths to preserve those through the Constitution and our current government is working to erode those protections. Our Fourth Amendment rights to be secure in our property and particularly in our homes is one of the very most basic and necessary rights. When the castle doctrine is not an option on the water and the government can come into your home at any time, for any reason, you have no privacy or protection in what should be your most protected space. That is why the laws about RVs are different than for cars, for instance. Without that protection of their home space, a citizen is entirely exposed to governmental intrusion. Likewise, the border situation renders us entirely exposed in our home country. Both the “borders” of our individual homes and the borders of our collective home should be maintained by law and respected by the government.

We had a couple bad run ins with them bass fishing doing nothing wrong and being respectful,both times were arrogant females with a chip on their shoulder. It has left a bad taste in my mouth and though I respect the Coast Guard,I have lost respect for them on our local waterways as they are basically revenuers.

[@adamtedder1012]

Unfortunately the females feel they have to go over the top in the male dominated field and dealing with men in the public. I have consistently said women should not be in law enforcement especially since the majority of violent criminals are men and the majority of even athletic women cannot match the power of the average male especially one with violent intent. They are in the job for optics not for public safety.

I go the other way and they are not going to be able to harass me since I can go 60 mph. I also boat in remote areas and they are nowhere to be found. .If I need assistance, I have membership with a tow boat company.

At least when the FAA stops you in a ramp check, you can tell them "no, not at this time and place". They are not permitted to impede your flight. You will, however, have to submit to inspection at another time and place when they request that. They rarely do, though. A good tell is when tower hands you over to ground, and ground asks you to call the tower on a land line or cell phone after you park on the ramp (tarmac). The dreaded request......

But I will also say I know rules and regulations for what has to be on board, safety, etc etc. I asked them about a couple items and they said I didn’t need them, bull, because I have my boat safety checked and I have a friend in Coast Guard Auxiliary he will stand behind my thoughts and what is needed.

Therefore, boaters were supposed to have life jackets in their dinghies. One day the CG was checking dinghies. They didn't stop people, they just cruised by in their dinghy and held up a life jacket as a signal for us to show them ours.

Pirates? 😀

[@robertbraun7155]

No. United States Coast Guard.

[@edquier40]

Armed assholes for sure!

[@margiestephens7281]

Appears as such to me. Why not have 1 ask questions& other verify instead of “nosey inspection”? Some ppl make better dog catchers but guess it’s better than having a newly hired illegal just taking what he wanted off your boat, a?

[@robertbraun7155]

I am glad to see that almost all comments are positive. People are quick to criticize authority figures now days. My Father was a retired Coastie. Lost him two years ago on memorial weekend. He was always very proud to have been in the Coast Guard. I have always been proud to say he was in our coast guard. He was on the USCGC Bering Strait and also the USCGC Gresham.. When I was a kid we lived in Redwood City and we had a 20ft. Bayliner. We would launch out of Redwood shores and head out North under the bay Bridge the pass Alcatraz and then under the Golden Gate. Anyone that knows anything about boats would know 20ft isn't ideal for the waters we would do our daytrips in. But he would just ride perfect in the trough of the afternoon waves matching speed.. I miss him and his story's as kid and also as an adult. Man of few words but would do anything for anyone. Sorry long Comment but I figured in today's world there would be nothing but negative comments about their boarding in this video.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

My 2 cents: there's a place for the CG: like the police, when truly needed. All law enforcement was passive until it became revenue for the state

[@edquier40]

I always enjoy black booted armed assholes scuffing up my white boat, demanding to see vessel registration even though the current registration is clearly showing, I did get a chuckle when the assshole asked twice about a horn and sounding device, the two are the same,,,,, so sorry, not everybody enjoys being hassled by armed thugs....

[@deoodolecki2979]

Fuck the police.

[@josephbrands6303]

They did a body cavity search of Wavy for contraband and found Wavy Treats instead.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Recycled treats ;)

[@Anoldphotographer]

Having been brought up on the water and spent many hours on the water I can tell you that about fifty percent of the people who are out there have no business even owning a rubber ducky for their bathtub much less a full-sized watercraft. Drug runners and drunks would love it if the Coast Guard had to have a warrant to come on board.

[@garylynch8612]

She was a real treat

[@josephshultz6726]

Brainerd? Reminds me of the movie Fargo :) You betcha

[@michaelnagy4603]

Tyrants 💯

[@jimlippi4001]

Back in the 90s my friends and I used to go out in the Delaware River at night. I had a 32ft Sea Skif. We were boarded. I mean harassed repeatedly almost every single night. We were anchored and just fishing. And sometimes pulled over while on our way to our fishing hole. I guess they just had to justify their existence. On multiple occasions they literally pulled up the engine compartment hatches. They said that they were checking for spark arrestors on the carburetors. And fire suppression systems. Even though this boat was built-in 1965. like they were treating me as if I was cruising off of the coast of Florida bringing drugs into the country. Enjoy your freedom?

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Horrible! Infuriating!!

[@88888gerald]

the coast guard will always stop you in rough water...lol...never fails...

[@stephengorham2195]

They patrol the waterways and I'm glad they do. I've been boarded before showed them what they asked for and they politely left.

[@cartmanrlsusall]

That coastguard helmsman knew his business

[@chrislothes2254]

Queen’s admiralty laws .

[@roydesignedthat]

That was educational! Thanks for capturing the boarding Brenton! I didn't notice if they asked for flares? Or was that the orang thing you handed them? AllthebestRoy

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

They didn't Roy! Surprising, and they didn't say a word about the 2 air guns on board

[@roydesignedthat]

@brentonsvlogchannel2207 as we don't need to register our boat as it is under 10hp and under 6m, it might be a thing for me to do if we take it to the US again. We were told it is fine not to as we are from Canada and must just be legal here but to be safe! I'm not sure it would be a point I'd want to argue with them about! Lol! AllthebestRoy

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

​@@roydesignedthatwhile bouncing around in sloppy seas to boot Roy! :( I didn't know that about your boat. Cool!!

[@EnlistedBombin]

Get a USCG inspection next time you get to Port they will give you a sticker to put near your Reg #s when the look at that if the USCG inspection sticker is up to date they usually leave you alone. They can look the inspection up in the system. With that warning there going to keep hitting you up, untill they see you fixed it in the system. If you get a lifering it also must have the vessel name on it.. so get a life sling its smaller more compact and does not require that, just don't unpack it or you will never get the painter line back in right LMFAO

[@Krie2]

Wow, didn't think you went as far as Germany!

[@Timmermon63]

That wasn’t too bad. I thought you handled that well!

[@saskiaisskra3240]

They were actually really nice. And u were nice too.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Sure, but it would be nicer if they just left us alone unless a good reason.

[@reedvending2384]

They seemed ok the female looked a little grouchy but over all seemed like a smooth visit. I don't want to be bothered when im out boating either but there is certain requirements you must follow. Its no different than living in a state that has car safety inspections to be able to have the car registered.

[@deoodolecki2979]

It's fascist bullshit. No matter how you want to disguise it or justify it.

[@theamerican8337]

Only place law enforcement can enter your home w\out a warrant

[@deoodolecki2979]

No. Houseboat. RV. Land and sea they get away with violating your rights.

[@SegoMan]

@@deoodolecki2979 how is the random boarding by the coast guard not a violation of the The Posse Comitatus Act? Are we allowed to holster up and inspect their vessel as well?? It is public property and we are the public..

[@BOBK-jf4qx]

You forgot about the Patriot Act, and, at least in Canada, Public Health Act... yes, during "health related emergency" (read Covid) public health official was allowed in any residence - and, if you protested, cops would came as well to "keep peace". You've been bamboozled long time ago.

[@brettvandrie9700]

Buy a brand new life ring, or two, stencil your name on it with port of registry underneath, hang it in full visibility on the back and/or front of the house and you will not only have a necessary piece of emergency equipment, it may even keep the Coasties from boarding you. But generally, the boarding party is not the ones who ordered it.

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

There's busy body Karen's (male ans female) behind every tree...would not surprise me

[@RonfromAmaireeka]

USCG - “Do you have a sound making device?” Me - Pull my finger. 🤣

[@jerryrogers757]

God bless America...whats left of it.

[@deoodolecki2979]

God has left America a looooong time ago!!!! The signing of the patriot act ensured that!!!

[@tomm6310]

Where I got my "water wings" on the Chesapeake over 30 yrs. ago, the USCG are always present and checking. Yeah, a lot of time they are just breaking in new recruits,, but I was always happy to oblige. They are just doing their job. If you boat on potentially dangerous waters, and do not understand your responsibilities as a captain, then you need to go back to your rowboat on the duck pond. Also, when you have an outgoing tide, and 7 1/2 footers at your bow and are taking on water, remember that the "kid" that may have dinged you for outdated flares could be answering your mayday call for help. And, he will not give up until you are safe. Just my $.02

[@brentonsriversidehermitage]

Yes yes. We've heard the "they're just doing their job for your safety" argument

[@tomm6310]

it is what it is, you may understand better as your travels take you to the Chesapeake Bay. So far your trip has not presented any "real" water for you to deal with. I enjoy your videos, and best of luck to you and the pup!

[@fishheds]

I always wondered about those type 4 throwables on solo voyages. If you fall over, who's gonna throw it to you?

[@deoodolecki2979]

Nobody can throw it to you. Which only highlights the ridiculousness of bureaucratic arbitrary rules and the fascist state we all live in disguised as a free cuntry!

[@timmcquerry6068]

Cute Beagle though 😊
