As a full member in good standing of the BYYB Association the President of the United States, The Honorable George W. Bush, has sort of like authorized me to issue Letters of Marque to our captains and vessels. The letters will specify your authority and areas of operations. Letters will be sent soon to current captains and vessel owners and new members will receive their Letters with the official membership package.
Upon receipt of your Letter of Marque the original should be framed for the wall of your shore side office and a photocopy maintained on your vessel. Without the letter onboard, boarding authorities may determine your are a pirate as opposed to a legal privateer operating under the authority of the Constitution of the United States. 8) 8)
