Something-ville Virginia??
 

Does anyone in here know of a town/city in Virginia ending in -ville like
Dallville or something like that. I don't think it is Danville because I
don't think that's on the ocean.

Reason is I saw a Cabo Rico 38 the other day that was the most magnificent
thing and it had "Brite Light Something-ville Virginia" on it.

I'm pretty sure it was a CR but it's the only one I've ever seen down here
in South West of Western Australia.

Just curious about its home port.

Deltaville is a major sailing center in Virginia. Its in Chesapeake
Bay, about halfway down from the Potomac River to Norfolk.

That's it!! Thanks. It was a very, very good looking boat.

It's not necessary for someone's home port in the US to be an actual
port. You can have your home port in Colorado or Wyoming if you
want. It's not even necessary for you to live in the place you pick
as a home port. Friends of mine have an Alaskan home port and AFAIK
they've never even been there.

It probably is Deltaville though

What's the purpose of claiming a home port that's not "home"?

As far as the Coast Guard cares about, the HomePort+BoatName just has to
be unique. For Instance, they've probably got a thousand boats named
Destiny, but each one has a different home port.

We chose to register our boat with the home port of San Francisco, even
though we lived 70 miles north of there and the boat was moored in
Bodega Bay simply because as we traveled to various places around the
world, everyone would recognize San Francisco, but how many would have
heard of either Bodega Bay or Healdsburg, let alone know where they
might be?

The really BIG boats on the East Coast of the USA owned by the really RICH
Americans are all home-ported in the Cayman Islands.....to avoid the awful
taxes at home supporting bureaucrats throughout the world.

Lower life forms don't have this luxury....

Of course they do. Any good boat broker can refer you to an agent who
does offshore documentation. Typical cost is under $10K plus some
annual fees.

The biggest issue is keeping your cruising permits up to date and
making sure you follow the time limit rules of the various states you
visit. I believe there is also a requirement to leave the country
periodically.

Wonder how many of those are stopped by the Venice water cop?

Bodega Bay? How could anybody *not* recognize Bodega Bay, after poor
Tippi Hedrin had all that trouble there? ;-)

And by the way, Dan, do you have any idea what these plants are?

None. Would you stop someone with batteries of lawyers who makes major
campaign contributions to major political parties and give him a ticket for
waking? Not if you have even the slightest brain with even a minimal
survival instinct, eh?

As the boys at the pen say, "Money walks."

Yes, let's pull over that 130' Azimut full of political hacks and check his

Afraid to think, Dave? They never shut down the whole complex before for
so long. The survivors only want to know a little TRUTH....and why.

Let's all bury our heads in the sand and take the "Party" line as gospel
until the goosesteppers come for our children. How stupid....

Dale,

I'm afraid to say that very few of the people in the places we visited
in the last 2 years ever saw the flick.

As far as the photo, I think the technical term for those plants is
"some kind of weird flower" (as you can probably guess, I'm
horticulturally challenged).

The name that comes to my mind is "red hot poker plant"

Not true on two counts.

One: They are by no means "all" registered in the Cayman Islands. In
fact Marshall Islands registry, to name just one, is becoming more and
more popular.

And two: Any body with a few thousand dollars can set up an offshore
corp..

Sorry, wrong again. I had a visit by the very FL officer in question
while running an 80 foot Cayman Islands registered boat while we were
stopped in Venice. And the boat was owned by not one but a family of
lawyers. Very nice folks from Texas by the way.

And document checks of large yachts on not uncommon. Especially in SE
Florida.

Here's a thought...

If you are properly documented in every respect and stopped by our
friend, why not call in USCG for clarification and assistance? He is
clearly out of his depth when dealing with out of state or
international documentation.

If you live on a boat full time, then what would you say is home?

But it is partly (I think because we don't do it) a tax avoidance
thing. In Virginia for instance, you pay personal property tax on
your boat.
