Cantx,no use looking at how the US treats cruisers.I heard there is a new law whereby foreign vessels must get government permission for any move.Even moving from one slip to another in the same marina.
Another angle.........right now there are thousands of pacific islanders in the US illegally.This doesnt make it right for you to trespass in their countries but it does make them hypocrites if they make something of it.
For what its worth,I have been ordered off two pacific islands by local policemen.They ordered it and I complied promptly and thats all there was to it.Contrast that to the situation in NZ right now.Hundreds of illegall islanders willing to pay $500 to a scammer to circumvent the law.Refusing to go home.Whining.Demanding rights.Costing the tax payer.
I recently saw a photo of a somewhat remote tuamoto atoll.There were four mega yachts in the photo.Seems they are everywhere these days.What a killing the tax collectors make when those guys arrive in port.And then you sail in, in your crappy little boat........heh,heh,heh.
