Guys,
sorry for the boat related post 
I noticed the US border is a lot closer as i thought ... Now I have the
following questions and was wondering if anybody knows the answers:
- For non americans, how close can you go (by boat) to the US border
(an imaginary line)? Can you go somewhat close or across? Is it
monitored closely?
- If you cross the border will the coastguard hassle you? here we have
the case that there are canadian waters that in order to get to you
have to go through US parts of the ocean ...
- If you drive deeper into US waters and even to US land/marina what
procedure do you have to go to before you go?
When I was up on the St. Lawrence last year, there wasn't any
requirement for traveling through Canadian waters, but if I were to
land or anchor in Canadian waters, I had to report to immigration or
get permission as I remember the requirements.
I'm not at all sure the same is true for American waters. Although I
heard or read somewhere that there was going to be an effort to
control access by water more closely.
I don't think there is anything being enforced at the moment.
- Lastly a question just for fun: If the US coast guard hassles you in
US waters can you just drive back into canadian waters?
Only if it's a criminal act.
Or will they chase you? shoot at you? get the canadian coast guard
to finish you off?
Hopefully. :)
Although I must say, based on my experience with the Canadians, they
certainly are a...
Well, let's just leave that experience alone.
Later,
Tom
