Boat responsibility

Every 3rd year the boat has to be inspected by the boat police. Unfortunately it is 3 years since I bought it, and then the previous owner was so kind as to come with me. This time I'm on my own. Scary business. Actually what scares me most is the tying up the boat at the boat police station when going to register. I have no clue how to do those knots. I tie them like I tie my shoes. This is surely not a good sign for these boat inspectors. For anybody who wonders I have metal clips and metal rings at my anchor place. Very very convenient. No fussing about with ropes and knots. So have now sent email to one of the boat people I know to ask if he can come with me. If not, I have a plan B. You need to know when to ask for help! And of course ze Swiss will ask you to pay them for the service. 45 swissies. Last time we did the inspection it took them around 3 minutes! I just wish it'll be just as quick this time...

Thanks! Plan A fell through, so let's hope plan B is up for it.
