[PUP] Documentation

[George Nason]

Bob stated the following: 

'We documented our vessels--and made sure that they were not taxed as we
traveled.  I would see no reason to have a vessel registered in a state--in
fact documentation probably makes clearance easier.'

I am an Aussie about to go back to the US and start cruising towards the
Panama Canal on our way home in 2008.  We have had more than a few problems
sorting out documentation.  We have registered 'Venture' a Nordhavn 43 in
Delaware.  As we are Foreign Nationals we cannot obtain USCG Documentation.
Do you think this will be a problem in the Caribbean, Panama and the Pacific
Islands?
