Yes, but consider the huge numbers of expensive boats with American 
hailing ports that reside in Sidney, B.C.  I can tell you they are 
not there for the climate.  Their occasional voyages to US waters 
satisfy the Canadians and their "permanent" moorage in B.C avoids 
state sales taxes for their owners.
