I'm finally getting a chance to log in and jump back in the conversation. A lot of interesting information, but the bottom line is I need to get a Canadian flag before we leave. I only have a flag staff at the bow, it's tall enough for two burgee size flags. I had been planning to fly U.S...

That's a flag staff with class. That's great that it has a history.

The better half and I are headed to Canada next week. I have a question about courtesy. Is it courteous and customary to fly the flag of the country you are visiting or is it no big deal? I thought we should also fly the Canadian flag in addition to Stars & Stripes, but wife says she doesn't...

Sorry for being off line for a few days, just got back from a long weekend at Put-in-Bay. GREAT PLACE. Always have fun there. About coming back from Canada, I checked out the video - phone at PIB while there, looks pretty straightforward. However, got into a conversation with a border...

Thanks to all who have said "Hi" I really do have a Searay, LOL I'll get pix posted as soon as I can.

I know where you're talking about. My wife and I are considering looking there in a few years as a place for our retirement house. Nice area. Currently we're docked at the other end of the harbor at Foxhaven. Name of the boat is "Knot a Karen the World".

Thanks for sharing your experience. That's what I'd heard, about the inspection crew. If you don't have an I-68 or Nexus, you can count on having to wait until agents arrive to do the interview. I've been told the people on the phone can sometimes be short and rude, but the agents are always...

Oh, and we really don't believe you own a Sea Ray until you post pics of the boat and your family using it. (just kidding.....sort of!) I'm working on the pic. I still had a pic of the old boat, so I took that one down and thought I'd selected one of the new boat but it's not showing up...

Thanks for the invite to the Paper District. Unfortunately we're going to be using Saturday getting ready to leave for Canada on Sunday. It'll be our first time to cross the border. I've heard so many different stories, I don't know what to believe. Some people have told us customs check in...

Hi all, You may notice I've been a member for a while but have never posted. That's because about the time I "joined" I was also involved in a couple other (Un-named) forums and had had my fill of forums. I got tired of the old boy mentality for long time members and new members were...

Seventeas, where did you used to dock? We're in West Harbor basin, Foxhaven. Hope you're back in the water soon. This is our 5th summer with this boat and it's what we live for anymore.

Hi all, While I did join back in May, this is my first post, mostly because when I joined was also the start of boating season and, hey, you gotta set your priorities. Hang out on a forum or go to the boat??:huh: Anyway, I was lurking around again tonite and thought it was about time. I've been...
