So let's say I have a US flagged vessel in the BVIs.
I'm flying from
New York to St. Thomas. No need for
customs.
I take
ferry from St. Thomas to Tortola, BVIs... I'll go through
customs.
I get on my own
boat in Tortola and then sail around St. Thomas... which means I need to clear out of BVIs and clear in to US, correct?
Then I sail back to the marina in the BVIs to leave my
boat... so I need to clear out of US and clear in into BVIs, right? Or, no?
And then when I leave my boat in the BVIs and take
ferry back to St. Thomas to go back to the
airport (since I don't want to leave via EIS airport), then I need to clear out of BVIs and into US again?
Is this really all necessary? I understand it's for
safety and I completely agree with it... but would there be something easier for me to do?
