The next time a USCG inspector bust your chops about not interrogating him at the gangway (or any other security hicup) be sure to share this story with him.... then invite him to the officers lounge to share a joint.


Lee Daniel Renfro did more than illegally drive past a guard station and onto the Port Angeles Coast Guard base earlier this year.

Undetected, the Forest Grove, Ore., Navy veteran made it past a second watch shack at 5:30 a.m. March 28, then boarded the 210-foot cutter Active.

Renfro strolled into the Active's commanding officer's stateroom, took a shower -- and smoked marijuana he had carried onto the cutter.

He was apprehended three hours later while still on the vessel, according to a Coast Guard report of the incursion obtained by the Peninsula Daily News.
