We drifted for two hours while they circled us w/
machine gun trained. Although they didn't destroy anything, they spent
over an hour of that time searching the boat stem to stern. When they
were done they told us thank you very much, this was A TRAINING
EXERCISE!

Does that mean if they found anything it wouldn't count against you :}

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.

We didn't tell them they missed the wrotten egg stashed in the oven! ;-)
