Seems kinda ‘fishy’ (pardon the pun) the Point Roberts Marina is a US Customs Port of Entry.
All he has to do was go in by boat from across the bay.
Great, get busted for entering the country illegally.
You have to clear customs to enter the country, the only way to do that is fly. Pleasure boats are no more exempt than vehicle traffic.
Illegal? How? I think you missed the part where I said the Point Roberts Marina is a Port of Entry, aka a legal border crossing.
As with so many things, border agents have an incredibly broad amount of discretion and a different agent is often a very different answer.
Of course the other simple solution is merely to have someone else bring the boat out off the marina and swap operators on the water.
