I have obtained the best information about current conditions by phoning in advance to check what the rules are today. http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/ports/ The web info can be confusing and out of date. Generally, if you own the vessel and everybody on board is a Canadian with a passport, then you can probably land without difficulty at any port of entry. Ryk |

Ryk The biggest reason I was ragging him was that he was, apparently, to lazy to provide a modicum of information; for instance, arriving by boat, aircraft or parachuting in. How many people in the party, if more than one, what are their nationalities. If on a vessel what are the most recent port(s) of call: I'll bet that if he's coming from Havana, there will be a few extra questions, if from Columbia perhaps a really thorough examination/inspection.....

Duh! You can assume he's arriving by private yacht or he wouldn't be posting to rec.boats.cruising. And, since he's posting from Surrey, British Columbia one can also assume he is a long ways from Port Everglades but to the north; not to the south. If he arrives via Cuba or Columbia then he's an even worse navigator than Capt. Skip but I find that hard to believe. Also one can tell by his sentence structure and improper verb tense that's he's a Canuck - i.e. speaks French and attempts English. As you can see the poor dude really does need help. So, here is a link that even a Frog might understand: http://www.dhs.gov/xtrvlsec/ -- Gregory Hall |

Besides, those Quebecors play pretty good hockey..eh? (Montreal defeats Boston to advance to next playoff round) |
