I heartily agree. This is the one option I've often discussed with other
boardheads when frequenting local sites. Self-help is always the best way
to go to avoid regulation by outside authorities. If the practicalities can
be worked out (who maintains the boat, buys the gas, has the key, etc...)
then this is my favorite option. Next best would be an on-site VHF radio
(approx $250) with boardhead access, but then, you still get the Coast Guard
(or other boater) involved.

Spoken by Dick the Butcher, follower of Cade, prior to the attempted coup
de'tat of the kingdom. He wanted to kill all the lawyers to prevent their
opposition to the takeover.
