"Beginning January 31, 2008, the United States will end the practice of
accepting oral declarations of citizenship at the border.
Canadian citizens ages 19 and older must present documentation that
proves both identity and citizenship. Identification documents must
include a photo, name and date of birth. View the complete list of
acceptable documents at
http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/va..._in_proced.xml
Children ages 18 and under will only be required to present proof of
citizenship, such as a birth certificate. "

The above is from: http://www.dhs.gov/xtrvlsec/crossingborders/

NOPE... won't work... he is NOT entering from Canada on the Canadian
border... he is coming into Port Everglades.

1) call Customs from a Dock or mooring. US Customs 800 451-0393;
800-432-1216; Have your registration or document or whatever you use up
that way, passports etc.
They will give you a CUSTOMS clearance number (or they will come to your
boat and search it... 1:100 chance)

2) Get in a car or cab and head to IMMIGRATION with everyone on your boat.
It is in the port near the FLL airport but not in the airport, customs can
give you info.
Immigration will check passports for ALL passengers and stamp your
passport.


Read the web pages concerned and linked to, you twit. They CLEARLY STATE the
requirements for Canadians coming to the US in small boats. And a passport
IS NOT among the requirements. You are attempting to dispute what the Dept.
of Homeland Security has placed on its site. That's a pretty dumb thing to
do.
