As we passed through St. Simons Sound in Georgia, the Brunswick Coast Guard arrived in a great-looking Metal Shark Response Boat — Small. Unfortunately, they were coming for us, so we got a much closer look. Two Brunswick Coast Guard officers came aboard for a safety inspection. They were polite, competent and efficient and were on and off in less than 20 minutes. Our cat Spitfire, however, was not impressed. We did slow down, but didn't have to even stop the boat and continued underway during the inspection. In the video the coxswain expertly maneuvers the two moving boats close together to allow the officers to board through our side gate without touching Dirona. (The aft camera is setup to mimic a rear-view mirror, so the Coast Guard boat appears to be on our port side, but actually is to starboard.) Taken while cruising the US East coast on Nordhavn 52 Dirona. For context see http://mvdirona.com/trips/scandgeorgia2017/scandgeorgia1.html
