p.s. big difference between picking on a boat load full of illegal immigrants than picking on a guy going for a run in his offshore powerboat. I'm sorry, but I think what they did to this guy is over the top.

I was coming back one night (maybe 9PM) about 2 years ago from Captiva to home in Bonita in the Baja going about 55 in the Gulf. I was maybe 2 miles west of the Fort Myers Beach pier when the Coasties came flying up. They were cool the whole time - when one of my passengers asked why they stopped us they said a) it was night b) we looked like we were moving pretty fast and c) they were bored! ![Cool Smiley 011](/forums/images/smilies/cool-smiley-011.gif)
They just checked the sticker, asked if I had safety gear on board and let us go on our way.
