Coasties targeting Friday Harbor?

This weekend I took the boys and some friends out to Prisoners Cove on Santa Cruz Island. I was surprised to see what looked like a dinghy dock attached to the National Park Service pier that the concessioners use to transport passengers to the Island.

I took the opportunity to dock the 22 (which is, afterall, a big dinghy) and offload my passengers before anchoring. Then, since I didn't know whether we could use the dock I landed my dink on the beach.

Later I saw a park service police officer tieing up his RIB at the dock, so I assumed that the dock was for NPS vessels. But, since I was watching him tie up I caught his attention.

He said, in a loud voice, HI! So, I was emboldened to ask whether we could use the dock for dinghies etc. He said something we never expect from government:

"Of Course -- this is here for YOU!"

nice try warren, but the fish are not biting today. 8)

Steve, you not believe how much us german irish cherokee's get picked on in this day and age. Or it could be that they are just cops and I'm a Marine.
 
Tom, my prediction: Next time and following a very detailed two hour inspection including your person, the officer will say in passing "have a nice day sir, after all we are just cops and you are a marine" sending a chill down your spine.
