Steve suggested:  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.


If I'm not mistaken they enforce the reciprocal 6 month timing to the T.
I've heard of people being ticketed and having to prove they were out of the
country (each country) the required amount of time.  

My head hurts.  This is why I just pay the tax.

On a positive note, today I washed the soot and ash of the boat.  She's a
beautiful lady again!  Scott
