| Probable Cause?
Your vessel can be treated as a second home or cottage by Federal Tax law. Therefore, it seems that it is your castle. Then don't you wonder why the CG can board your vessel without probable cause? I understand it is under the guise of a safety inspection. However, they will stop you, a citizen, without cause as you go about your lawful business and detain you against your will. They will search your castle without a warrant. They will not allow you to schedule the safety inspection at a mutually agreed time. All seems heavy handed for a free country.
