I have been boating in the Niagara area for more than two thirds of my life. I often shut off the engines and drift with the current with the radio on end enjoy the sunshine. crossed the border line many times and back again and NEVER been hassled.
Been pulled over by the US Customs once five years ago in the lower river for routine check and they were polite and I passed with flying colours. Not a bad expereince at all?
Maybe because my boat is so well known and easily identified????
I'm no "bad guy"

Oh and I DO have a Nexus card and use it weekly to go to see concerts at Artpark in the US. Smooth transition, just a phone interview and I am given a transit number for the evening. I recommend everyone take the time to get a NEXUS. Makes life simple...

all these laws have severly bruised boating, to complicated and not direct, hopefully as i read above they are making it easier for the pleasure boater, we used to frequent crystal beach/bay beach we have not been there in 4 years and I avoid canadian water at all cost
