Wouldn't it be cool if this was our boat??? Yeah? Well, it's NOT! Thanks to U.S. Customs things are a little behind schedule, and we now have a pesky visa to limit our stay in the U.S. of A.
Things we have learned:
1.) Don't travel with headshots and resumes when you are trying to convince border guards that you are not planning on working in their country. ( Same goes for yoga teaching certificates- whoops….)
2.) Don't write about your trip in your journal- which they will read….. in front of you.
3.) Don't pack a drill. (Why Matt……why?)
Despite being detained and interrogated for a total of 7 hours and missing our flight, we had a reasonably pleasant overnight in Toronto! (Thanks Allie and Kayla. Yay reunion!)
We are now back on track- albeit struggling with the idea of finding a boat, getting it surveyed, registering it in Canada and waiting for a good weather window to cross the Gulf Stream- all before our visa runs out and we get arrested.
Here goes nothing.
Just got Matt's email about the boat you are looking at - it looks like a very nice boat and I hope that all goes well with the inspection!

Hey Mar and Matt, cool blog. Glad to hear that the sailing lessons are going well. We got the picture of the boat you were talking about and it looks pretty cool. Better get you captain buddies to check it out though. We miss you lots. Be safe. Love Mike and Steph
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. Your border nightmare sounds worse than all of mine combined! I can't wait to hear all the stories later. I hate U.S. Customs! Be safe and hope the trip is going well still!!
