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.

The way my maps read he could have left Washington, stayed in US waters and landed in Point Roberts (again US territory). Nothing illegal about that unless there's some wacky back door agreement about who has control of what in that little corner.

It seems to me that things are changing so fast about what you can and can't do that border agents on both sides of the border really don't have a clue. All depends on how much of a bad time their spouse gave them last night, what today's rules are. Different agents, different crossings, different rules and oops, that was the rule this morning, but it just changed.
