Well, thank you Bob. I have been complaining on forums such as this for years and you are the first one to give me a genuine source of recourse. I very well may heed your advice.

that' indeed the right thing to do... I think that after a boarding, the boarding party gives you a form... save them and then send copies to the district enquiring about the frequency of the boardings. if that doens't do it, complain to congressman and copy the local press. they love that kind of stories... pascal ----- Original Message ----- From: "David H Sorenson" <davidsorenson@juno.com> To: <deering@ak.net>; <trawlers-and-trawlering@lists.samurai.com> Sent: Saturday, April 04, 2009 1:07 PM Subject: Re: T&T: CG Boarding > Well, thank you Bob.
