Hi,
Ive done lots of sailing here in the states, but what about going
abroad?
My specific questions a
Who and where do i go in a forgien country to "clear customs" ya know,
passport and what not.
Also, what about firearms. Here in the states I have no problem, my
ship is registered in america. Is there a protocall for this? Do I
check them into customs and pick them up on my way out? Or am I not
even allowed to bring them into dock?
Im trying to plan a trip around the world, stoping off at places like
the UK, Germany (ok, well, most of europe) Egypt, South africa,
Austrailia, Maybe India, Japan, and bring it on around to Hawaii have
some fun in central america and then bring it on home to the gulf (and
maybe mexico,cuba,puter-rico). I am just starting to plan this, so any
information at all is welcome. Honestly im pretty clueless at this
point.
Also, what is better/safer/easier/quicker when say going from the US to
the UK, I will be sailing a 40Ft Catamaran, should I cut straight
across or shore hug up to green/iceland and over to the UK?
Any and all info would be apreciated.
In addition to the excellent info posted by d.parker, Mike, Markus and
Alan - check out a kiwi's experience sailing up n' around Fiji from NZ -
very funny reading - but some good guff on clearing customs n' other
stuff...
