Hi Roger, no requirement unless you stay 45 or more consecutive days.

I definitely plan to so I've got to find out what they will accept from a
state that doesn't issue the kind of documentation they describe.

Roger... do you have a local Power Squadron in your area?
What a great way to pass the dreary winters in your area(and mine).
You'll probably even meet some new long term friends.
I've just run into a lady i took the Piloting course with. We both walk our
dogs in the same part.
She's still sailing (trying to sell her J-24 to buy a Viking 28 while I'm
reduced to operating an open 15' aluminum boat these days)

I don't think a Power Squadron certificate counts as state or federally
issued.

Up here the CPS group has been appointed by the gov't to run the course and
examine applicants for the Pleasure Craft Operator Card.
Way back in 2000 we wrote two exams on the same night after completing 'The
Boating Course'.
The first, shorter test was for the Operator Card, and the longer test was
to receive our diploma for the Boating Course and an invitation to join the
CPS.

Do you know of the CPS will issue cards to US citizens or if the USPS
certificate is considered equivelent and acceptable?

Just curious at this point. I'm certainly going to have something in
writing before I show up to clear customs with 90 days of cruising planned.
