00:00.517 --> 00:02.507
- The purpose of my stopping you today is just to

00:02.507 --> 00:04.276
do a quick safety inspection of your vessel.

00:04.276 --> 00:05.109
- Okay.

00:05.109 --> 00:05.960
- What's up guys?

00:05.960 --> 00:07.083
I'm Petty Officer Arnett here,

00:07.083 --> 00:08.618
Coast Guard Station Vallejo.

00:08.618 --> 00:09.451
I'm Boatswain's Mate 3rd class.

00:09.451 --> 00:10.958
I'm also a Boarding Officer.

00:10.958 --> 00:12.698
You'll see us out in the water from time to time

00:12.698 --> 00:14.572
conducting recreational boating safety boardings.

00:14.572 --> 00:15.847
We just want to make sure you're in compliance

00:15.847 --> 00:17.869
with all federal laws and regulations.

00:17.869 --> 00:19.482
First thing we're going to do when we hop on your boat

00:19.482 --> 00:20.899
is conduct a BISS

00:20.905 --> 00:22.715
which is the Basic Initial Safety Sweep.

00:22.715 --> 00:24.259
We're searching for hazards that may exist

00:24.259 --> 00:25.719
on any part of your vessel.

00:25.719 --> 00:27.556
Once we conduct our BISS, we're going to be

00:27.556 --> 00:29.433
inspecting for all safety equipment

00:29.433 --> 00:31.141
you need to have on board such as

00:31.141 --> 00:32.491
your life jackets, your fire extinguishers

00:32.491 --> 00:35.241
and your sound producing devices.

00:35.655 --> 00:36.776
With the warm weather coming up,

00:36.776 --> 00:38.417
we know that your priority's out there to have fun

00:38.417 --> 00:39.750
but our priority is to make sure that

00:39.750 --> 00:42.417
you're always safe at all times.
