Hi, any americans here who has gotten a DWI in their past ever tried to
cruise canada? From what I understand, having a DWI (even if pretty
old) means you are not legally allowed into canada, which of course
would apply to cruisers as well. Just wondering if anyone has run into
problems here or found a way around it?


Live right across the the river from Canada, never heard that one before.
When you call in to Canada Customs at the marina, all they ask are the basic
questions. AFAIK, you don't need a valid drivers license to sail into
Canadian waters or land in Canada.
