Rob:
Surprise! I had no idea that the USCG went onto lakes.  I will investigate it.  Thanks.

Joe,
I'm on a freshwater lake too.  We have a very active Coast Guard Auxiliary at our lake.  At least look into it! - rob

Thanks.  I will be in a fresh water lake. No Coast Guard there (as far as I know).

Joe,
Once you get your boat in the water, ask the Coast Guard Auxiliary to do a courtesy safety inspection on your boat.  They will look for all the required safety equipment and if you are missing it, there is no fine or ticket.  If you pass, they put a sticker on your mast which tends to keep the real cops away. - rob

Hey: (greeting that denotes familiarity)
 
     Stan and his crew will deliver a Recycled boat to me around the end of July.  I would put this to him, but I understand that he is "waiting for them to deliver a straight jacket in [his] size," and I don't want to add anything to his pile.  
 
     I want to put the intervening time to the best use in getting what I'll need to sail on day-one.  I'd appreciate (from those who have been down this path) some guidance on things I'll need.  Motor & gas tank, I know.  How about lines, fenders, anchor hardware, PFDs, day and night warning devices and any variety of items you think I'll need to sail...not in oppulent comfort, but you know: just friggin' sail.  I will have it on a fresh water lake in NC. Many thanks.  And Here's a (non sailing) poem for all to enjoy.

         Crush
                                                   JJ Camp
 
It came at night; she half
expected murder 
disappointment discomfiture
 
of other expectations
First: dark quiet 
reigned-in blacker dream
 
dreams dreamer never
saw the crush
approached from her exposed
 
right side, eye unblinking
fracture fractured quiet
undone in the crush
 
the crush. She breathed hard
knuckle bone against
bone, skin rent rendered
 
red under night’s
black blanket, unconscious
rifted shifting. Bright
 
light in her head, the crush
silent crush. She heard
something like television
 
snow crackled then 
and then—nothing 
nothing but the quiet
 
of nothing. She thought:
“So this is what it’s like.
This is what
 
it’s like to die
when fragments 
of love crushed bone  
 
skull bone collapses
yields to fist and flesh 
and crush sometime
 
after twelve, when children
should be asleep, not
hearing, not listening
 
And this is how Mother
felt when Daddy—
when Daddy 
 
when love in some disguise
some disgruntled love drunk
love comes home too late
 
or too soon.                                                      19 August 2003
