: leave it on the beach in Vancouver ?

Are you a customs inspector?

If so, no, it was never on the roof, there never was a 3rd boat.

If not, yes, it got "left on the beach" in Vancouver, and now happily lives in Comox.

But--to paraphrase Rod's previous post ('when you're a small business person...')--"Everything is for sale at the right price".

OTOH, Don Flowers and I have been across the border in both directions with wooden boats and nary a problem. I have been less concerned with crossing the local border--first, because it is a much smaller crossing than the one south of Vancouver, and second, if they didn't believe me, I could leave my boat at the border (yikes--confiscated!) and return home (1 hour) to secure proof.

Way OT for this thread: I only live 2 hours away from Don and we paddle together about 1x per year...that's just not enough!
