Here is a photo of an old one.

If you are a Canadian registered boat the catch is that it expires in a year, and you can only apply for another one entering the US from a foreign country. Therefore, those doing the Great Loop have to go to the Bahamas (or somewhere else) for a week and come back because it can't be renewed in the US.


So, to complete a 365 day travel time Great Loop over 2 years, 6 months at a time for tax/immigration reasons, becomes a problem.


The AGLCA does seminars on doing this (another one on the 10th of July)
