GL: Great Loop and immigration

[Jo Stanton]

The regulation, as I understand it, is that any foreign-flagged vessel has to
report to the Coast Guard every time they stop - not just at ports or marinas,
but at anchorage too.  This is not only inconvenient, but sometimes
impossible.  We are non-US citizens and registered our boat in the US through
a Delaware corporation so that the boat could be US flagged.  So far we have
done all our boating on 90-day tourist visas.

What about the separate requirements for a cruising permit and
the
requirement to report upon entry and departure from every darned port? I
really need to understand these requirements for a Swedish couple here in my
marina who have registered their previously US boat in Sweden and will
proudly
fly the Swedish flag. The boat won't be entering since it is already
here!
