It happens every year. There's never a problem. I've sailed to Mexico,
came
in in the middle of the night with absolutely no problems.


We have people going back and forth from Florida to Cancun, Cozumel
and Isla Mujeres with no problems also.


Friend sailed to Cancun and had a mediccal problem so went to a doc
who put him on next flight back to USA for surgery nearly unconcious.
By the time he was able to discuss the matter with authorities, his
boat had been seized for failing to register. *No amount of legal
string pulling could get it back.


Bummer. *I guess it came down to life or death or boat. *He could
probably have hired an agent to clear him in if he'd had more time.
Latinos in general are a stickler for details in my experience.


Or, easily bribed.

sail away, Before I had kids, YES, what a hoot that'd be but,
