What area and when were you boarded by the Coast Guard? What, in particular, did they do when they boarded you that gives you that impression?
Here's one:
This past year outside Falmouth Harbor, the Wednesday after Labor Day. Three friends on a 25' Searay, licensed Master operating. Heading to catch the sunset on their way back to Buzzard's Bay.
CG pulls alongside for typical safety check. FOUR coasties board the Searay and demand to see everyone's id. A half hour later they unboarded, oh, and the sun was already set. Ruined the whole afternoon since the purpose was to see the sunset from the water.
