The American government is pretty extreme in its reporting requirements for visiting pleasure boats, especially that part about having to report every movement of the boat once in American waters. Can you imagine if they did that with cars? I seriously doubt that there are very many Americans who know about these requirements, let alone us dangerous foreigners with our 7 knot sailboats.
The whole point in my getting a Nexus card was so that I would not normally have to report physically at a controlled point of entry. The border control people could insist on it at any time of course, but they normally don't. All of this was carefully laid out by the Nexus / Homeland Security / Canadian Border Services people when I got my card. If I understand the article correctly, this has now changed?

Private /charter boat seems to be the problem. Or did you mean to say you've gone back and forth n your own or charter boat? _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
