See, that just goes to show you what I know. This is the first time I have EVER heard of a permit or visa required to sail into the US. Does anyone here actually have first hand knowledge of this entrance fee? Perhaps this is just another way for our wasteful government to collect a few extra bucks. I was/am shocked at how expensive it is to enter some of these places. It's not like I'm planning on staying and unless my boat sinks I DO have a way off.

As for being called/lumped in with riffraff because I'm not wealthy enough, well, you already know my attitude about that................m
