General Discussion

We were getting our I68’s processed ( a form to facilitate checking back into the US while on the Great Lakes) with a Coast Guard officer who had helped us for years. As we were leaving I asked him if he knew what my happiest day would be. He said no what and I responded , ‘ when Homeland Security is disbanded and the Coast Guard gets its powers back!!’. His reply….you and me both!! Of course my sailing partner gulped air at the question! So many years ago!
