    • Coast Guard Boarding: What to Expect on Your Boat – Southern Boating & Yachting

      The Coast Guard just made a U-turn, lit up the blue lights and called you on the radio. Here is exactly what happens next.

      Capt. Chris Caldwell walks through a Coast Guard boarding step by step, from the first hail to the receipt in your hand.

      In this episode of the Southern Boating podcast, training captain and Southern Boating & Yachting contributor Capt. Chris Caldwell breaks down what to expect when the U.S. Coast Guard asks to board your boat.

      He covers how the boarding crew approaches, the questions they ask about passengers and firearms, why they open the engine room and lazarette first, and the paperwork and placards they expect to see, including the Navigation Rules handbook for boats 12 meters (39.4 feet) and longer.

      He also explains the most common violation he sees (expired flares), why life jackets must carry U.S. Coast Guard approval, what to say and what not to say, and how a simple pre-departure checklist keeps a boarding short and friendly.

      united states coast guard

      The latest briefing for the western Atlantic is attached. This update covers the developing East Coast storm system, which is expected to reach storm-force with winds up to 50 kt, gusting to 60 kt and seas building to 25-27 ft. Impactful conditions will continue through much of the week as the low becomes trapped by strong high pressure over the Canadian Maritimes.

    • Paying attention can indeed pay dividends when fishing – CoastalReview

      https://coastalreview.org/2026/10/paying-attention-can-indeed-pay-dividends-when-fishing//

      Comments from Cruisers (1)

      1. Anonymous -  October 9, 2026 - 5:54 am

        Thanks for sharing this CoastalReview piece. The title sums up something that applies to fishing along the coast more than any gear choice: the water usually tells you what is happening if you watch it. Diving terns and pelicans, nervous bait on the surface, or a slick on an otherwise rippled area are all signs that fish are pushing bait, and noticing them a few minutes earlier than everyone else often makes the difference between a good day and an empty cooler.

        For cruisers who fish from the boat while traveling the ICW, tide and current are probably the most useful things to keep an eye on. Moving water around creek mouths, inlet edges and oyster bars tends to concentrate bait, and the last couple of hours of a falling tide can be especially productive. Keeping a simple log of tide stage, water temperature and where fish were found makes those patterns much easier to repeat on the next trip through.

        One thing worth adding is that paying attention also means watching the weather, especially with a storm forming in the Gulf right now. Fall fishing can be excellent ahead of a front, but conditions change quickly in open sounds and near inlets. It is worth checking forecasts and having a clear plan for when to head back before the wind builds.
