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 my experience of last summer is any indication, you should make sure any
attractive women on your boat are dressed like ugly hags, and the Coast
Guard won't bother you. I got pulled over for a "safety check", which
consisted of one guy checking to see if I had flares and a warning flag, and
the other four guys chatting up my son's girlfriend, who just happened to be
in a way-too-short skirt. My son did NOT think this was funny, but being 15,
he wasn't quite ready to attack the CG fellas.
