If you are headed to Ririe to fish or ski be prepared to have your boat inspected by the sheriff's department. They were writing tickets as fast as boats could pull down to the dock today. No PFD's, No Throw cushion or flotation, no whistle or signal, no registration and the list goes on.
If you are going there on the weekend and you aren't sure what you need you should go to a Coast Guard site and look up what your boat needs to pass inspection.
What really amazes me is the people taking small children out on the water that can't pass inspections!
If you have everything you are supposed to have on your boat you can get a sticker for the year's inspections. It will keep you from being boarded by the Coasties or other state's sheriff's departments!
Oh, and the fish are starting to bite. [fishin]
