Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We hold that the trial court was eminently correct, upon the facts presented, in denying the motion to suppress. The marine patrol acted lawfully when it stopped the boat for a decal violation1 and when it subsequently boarded the boat for a registration check and safety inspection.2 See State v. Casal, 410 So.2d 152 (Fla.1982), cert. dismissed, 462 U.S. 637, 103 S.Ct. 3100, 77 L.Ed.2d 277 (1983); Sherman v. State, 419 So.2d 375 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982).

While on board, the marijuana was discovered in plain view and smell.

We, therefore, affirm the judgment and sentence.3

Affirmed.

DOWNEY and STONE, JJ., and LEONARD RIVKIND, Associate Judge, concur.
