    and
    finally I was asked where I kept my first aid kit?! I guess I passed
    because I was issued a serialized triangular red, white and blue sticker
    and told to display it on the bow?!

    Wha?  


  Ain't never heard of that either.

I believe that it was a courtesy inspection.  If you go through a
courtesy inspection and pass you get a sticker to display.  When the
Coast Guard or their aux. see the sticker they are a lot less likely to
look closer.  They already know you play by the rules so they don't need
to watch you like they do others.  (This knowledge is one of the few
advantages of being a former power boater.)

passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
