Thanks for any input.

Foreign flagged vessel will be hailed by the Israeli navy some distance from shore (may be around 30NM offshore).
The will ask a bunch of questions, basically the same questions that are on the form.
You will need to be ready with the answers and after the interrogation the will let you go on. You may continue sailing during the
VHF conversation.
Prepare the data of your
boat:
Dimensions, type, colour,
registration port and numbers.
Data of crew: names, birth dates, passports (nationality, passp. number).
Where did you come from and when you have left this port.
Do you have weapons on board.
Basically this is it.
Later, navy
boat may come and look at you, call you on the
VHF and (very politely) validate again some of the data. If everything matches, they will send you on.
