Our local (us) power squadron told us there is now a $150 VHF licience

really being enforced when you check in at the customs dock?



No idea about this. I have a Restricted License based on
flying. I believe that this is the same license needed
for marine. So I am OK.

I have no experience with Canada. Until some future
time, I will avoid Canada destinations due to customs
hassles between Canada and US.
