It was for that reason that I hesitated getting a wooden plaque made. How do I attach it permanently? And fashionable? And 4" tall?
I did include the "NO." on both my epoxy attempts. I was boarded by the Coast Guard and when asked for ID my wife and I each presented our OUPV 6-pack licenses and requisite TWIC cards. They looked at the documents funny and asked if we just had a driver's license. When asked for a rules of the road manual, we retrieved the one that I had purchased 4 years ago. They again looked at it funny, thumbed the pages and stated, "That's newer than any copy we have. It's always nice when we pull over sailboaters, they always have their shit together."
