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.

I wouldn't recommend it... when we in Baja last year, on a Moorings rental
cat out of La Paz, we were boarded by the Mexican Navy. They were looking
for poachers and were mostly interested in seeing our fishing licenses (all
Moorings boats down there are required to have them even if you don't fish).
They were polite, spoke little English, and very professional. They were
also carrying M-16 (or equiv.) and had big guns on their ship.
