Aug 24, 2017 at 8:51 comment added Pavel Another fun fact: The first man to sail solo around the world (Robin Knox Johnston) had his boat Suhaili boarded by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise officer almost exactly in this situation (he perhaps broke the 200 NM line a few times on his voyage). His coming to Falmouth, from where he had set off some year earlier, was cheered by some quarter million people and otherwise well publicised, yet the officer's first question was "Where from?"

Aug 23, 2017 at 22:02 comment added DTRT YES, because you left Canadian territory. It's that simple. Is it 100% enforced, no.

Aug 23, 2017 at 20:23 comment added Greg Hewgill Fun fact: Even astronauts have to go through customs. In particular, the moon astronauts who launched from Florida and returned near Hawaii had to make a customs declaration. And apparently an expense report, too.
Aug 23, 2017 at 18:32 comment added mkennedy I recently saw a Canadian Border Force show where a Canadian citizen bypassed the customs dock, tied up at a buoy, ate breakfast, then finally headed to a dock after being there over an hour. Customs was not amused and levied a C$1000 fine.
