I'll be vacationing in Wolfeboro at the end of the month and will be bringing my 16' aluminum boat with me. I have taken the coast guard auxiliary boat safety class in PA, even though it's not required for me (in PA) because I was born before 1982. I can't find the certificate. Is this something the authorities routinely ask for? I will be a fully law-abiding citizen, enjoying the water with my wife and kids, all sober and in cute little coast guard approved PFDs. Do they stop people like me and demand safety certificates?

I have it somewhere - I packed up my den when we had our second kid - it's somewhere in that stuff and eventually I will find it so I'm not going to bother requesting a reprint if it's not likely I'll need it.

Very much looking forward to my visit. I just put new flotation foam and a new transom in the boat. I hope to get a couple local trips in first, otherwise it's christening will be in Winnipesaukee.
