US Customs, San Diego
15 June 2009 | San Diego, Ca
Although very tired, we survived "The Bash" without breaking the boat or ourselves. Boats entering the country are required to check in with customs immediately so we tied up to the police dock and placed the call that would bring customs agents down to scrutinize our boat.
In doing their job, these gentlemen confiscated our uncooked chicken, beef, eggs and vegetables. You can see that the one agent is carrying a "Makita" box that contains a cordless drill. When asked why he had the drill he responded, "Sometimes we need to take the boat's interior apart to find contraband". We were very cooperative and "Cecily" remained intact!
