Default Coast Guard Boardings

How special to be boarded by a group of rookies anxious to demonstrate that not
one cubic inch of your vesssel escaped scrutiny.

When cruising out of the San Juans into Canada, many boaters avoid the Bedwell
customs dock for the same reason. They train the new customs inspectors at
Bedwell, so every "i" is dotted, every "t" is crossed, and extreme searches are
more common than at other ports of entry.
