I got some additional info Jim. They do have to check every kayak, boat, etc. The inspection on a sit inside kayak should only take a few minutes and they give you a sticker. After you have a sticker you are ok for the future. The only thing that was a little weird, one source of info said that they do inspections starting at 6:30am the other(their website) that inspections don't start til 8am. If I am getting my boat inspected in line at 8am , I'll probably wont get on the water til close to 9am. A little late, I think.
Since there is going to be a chance of a little wind left over on Friday, I think my Dad and I will probably just get a half day rental for $45. (25% off if over 62, thanks Dad!)
Maybe I'll see you out there, I'll be the guy with the birdsnest arguing with an older guy and not catching fish
