So while FauxNews is running a story now about the Mexican Army "storming"
US & Canadian boats, it ain't true. Mexico remains one of the easiest and
most flexible countries to check into & out of. The TIP for your boat is
good fo 10 years, and if you want to be truly careful with getting one,
you can get it completed online before you even leave the US for Mexico:
apply for their TIP at www.banjercito.com.mx,

Has the AP story been a bit overblown? Yes. Still haven't seen the
"Fauxnews" story but presume it is more of the same. But, if you haven't
been here in our shoes at this time, don't presume to know that it is
all the cruiser's fault or that it will all blow over, etc. We're still
here and still on the list and we check frequently marina arbormaster
and marina attorney to see what the status is. If you have DIRECT,
FACTUAL information, please by all means post that IF it is new.
Opinions, well, please keep them to yourself. There are enough of those
to go around and then some.

It's funny how some folks will immediately discount a story because it was on FOX News. Strange how
they spelled 'FOX'.
