Don’t do it ! It’s not worth the risk in so many ways


A voyage to visit his Canadian girlfriend last weekend ended up costing a Bellingham man $1,000 for crossing the U.S. border and violating Canada’s Quarantine Act.

On Sunday, Sept. 27, Royal Canadian Mounted Police members with the ShipRider Program were paroling the marine border along the U.S.-Canada border in the Southern Gulf Island region when they spotted a Seasport cabin cruiser out of Bellingham anchored in the Crescent Beach Channel near Blackie Spit, according to a RCMP release on the incident.
