Oh, great. I’ve sailed and boated all of my life, and I don’t want to seem too critical, but about the only thing I’ve ever seen the Coast Guard do in Maine where we spend our summers is come around and give people fines for not having enough life preservers or for getting a little oil in the water from their outboards.

If you ever break down, however, forget calling the Coast Guard. They are very unlikely to come to your rescue. Call a friend, or call a lobsterman that you know and ask him to give you a tow.

So, now, with one announcement they’ve made tens of thousands of boats obsolete, because they no longer qualify to carry the number of passengers they were built for.

I’m sure Michelle, the Food Queen, loves this.

Why not allow the option to book by actual weight.
