Florida is brutal on the water. I have had both courteous, and negative boardings. Once while attempting to enter Miami from the Bahamas. I was stopped. searched, and holes drilled  into my collision bulkheads. The Coasties were trying to play good cop, bad cop to make me confess to a crime. After 3 hours of B.S. I went a little beserk on them. They packed up their stuff, and left.
The driver  of the orange rubber duckie slammed me three times while approaching me. Less than 8 knots of wind, and I was stopped dead holding the bows into the wind. Talk about some bad boating skills.....WHEW!!!!!!
