In one of the links below that statement ,
http://www.cbp.gov/travel/pleasure-boats-private-flyers/pleasure-boat-overview
I does shed some further light. There appear to be 4 options, for reporting in,
From the "Pleasure Boat Reporting In Requirements
Quote: | "There are four exceptions to the face-to-face inspection at a designated reporting location, NEXUS, Canadian Border Boat Landing Permit (I-6, Outlying Area Reporting Stations (OARS), and the Small Vessel Reporting System (SVRS). Participation in any of the programs does not preclude the requirement for physical report upon request by U.S. Customs and Border Protection." |
Personally, I take the most direct approach. Show up at the designated dock, and Only the Vessel Master leave the boat, going directly to the CBP office(r) and then directly back to the boat until clearance is issued.

Having read thru the Waggoneer link, it looks like the permit is for 30 ft and over, and depends on where you clear. I usually clear at Roche. They have officers on the dock
The skipper goes ashore with crew passports and answers questions. Clearance is given (hope hope) and the rest of the crew is then legally allowed ashore, not before and do not muck about with this one. Just tell your crew they will go to jail for the weekend if they get off early.

George, I just re-read the info put out by US Customs and Border Patrol. It says, starting in 2016, ALL foreign flagged pleasure boats entering the US must clear customs and purchase a permit within 48 hrs for $19. Assuming you do not already have one.
It does not mention size of boat. Just says ALL boats.

I think that it may have been when I was looking into NEXUS that I saw something about cell phone contact for vessels (it might have been only when entering Canada). It was something like phoning at least 30 minutes in advance and not more than 4 hours in advance. You were then told whether or not you had to physically appear at the customs dock. Sort of a Russian roulette approach to customs inspections. Still, the idea of getting through with just a phone call and no change of course most of the time has some appeal.

We'd like to add another boat to the group, my wife's sister will be joining us in Serendipity, a 29' Ranger. We'll get there as early Friday as possible so we can perhaps have adjacent spots. We know there's no guarantee of that . |

Sounds good and things start filling up pretty good late Friday. By Saturday it would be hard to find adjacent slips or slips on the main event dock.

After the gathering, is anyone going south, La Connor, Oak Harbor area? We would like to explore that area and having someone know the ropes is always an advantage.

After the gathering Two Bears will be spending a week or two in Puget Sound, perhaps as far south as Seattle. Plans open. We've gone north in the past, but will do that when we return in August.
Shall we organize a fleet visitation to some good sites?

Martain, talk to me about cruising south. We might be out for a week after the gathering and have not decided to got north or south.
La Conner is great to visit. Lots of shops and lots of good food. Langly is also a nice day visit. If you go father south we like the marina at Kingston. If you stop at everet we will come to the house, if we are home then, and have you over to the house for dinner. 5 min drive. _________________ Thomas J Elliott

Thanks Tom. We will catch up with you and Susan at the gathering.
We have good friends at home who have friends at Oak Harbor. They invited us to visit if we are ever in the area. The admiral also likes the look of La Connor and suggested we put it on the 'check out' list.
Cheers,
Martin & Andrea. |

|
|
I'm hoping I am correctly posting to the Friday Harbor gathering post as I'm new to this site and unfamiliar. Apologies if not the right spot.
Hello, all!
Braun, we are new to both the area - and to this group - lots of activity and a ton of people going who all know one another so I thought I'd introduce us.
John and I (his spousal unit, Susan) will be trailering our 24' Rossi to up to Bellingham, WA (thanks to folks here who suggested the free parking there) from Cleveland, Ohio.
Expect to arrive in Bellingham May 4th ish. Plan to head SOUTH on beginning of 5 month trip - heading toward Alaska, exploring coast of BC on the way. Planning to pull out the end of Sept and drive back to Ohio.
We hope to dock in Seattle May 11th to meet other new friends (weather permitting), then explore the San Juans, preferring to anchor out.
Hoping to get to C-Brat gathering maybe a day or so early - the 18th or 19th - depending on wind and waves. Will be "strangers" like you!
Looking forward to meeting everyone - you sound like a GREAT group!! Loved to get together after a long day with another group we belong(ed) to - Trailer Sailors - in Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada.
I've been reading that many of the group want to dock next to friends they've known over the years, and don't want to mess that up for anyone. Is there any special place we should position ourselves on the dock(s)? May just anchor out until we see you all start to arrive....
Sorry to be a thread hog (!), so all for now.
