On the V-man net tonight (every Monday, VHF ch 71, 8pm) there were reports of suspicious persons hanging around M4 restrooms. The Port of Seattle Police also stated that there have been several car prowls in the parking lot.  Activity will increase as the weather warms up with later daylight hours and more people heading to Golden Gardens.

Reminders:

• Lock your car and remove all visible items (put in trunk or take to boat);
• Be observant when walking to and from restrooms, cars and gate;
• Call Port Security (206-601-4089) for any suspicious person or activity!

Here is the online renewal and payment form if there are no changes to your Cert. of Documentation…USCG Vessel Documentation Payment Form

Starting in 2017, a certificate of documentation will remain valid for five years instead of just one year. Boat owners will, however, need to reapply for a new certificate if there are any changes of address or a new home port. BoatUS and other boating groups, including the Seven Seas Cruising Association, advocated for this extension after the U.S. Coast Guard began charging an annual fee for documentation renewal.
