Smart Boaters Follow Rules
Many of the rules we follow are based upon sound reason. Sometimes a rule is put in place after tragedy strikes in an effort to make sure it never happens again.
It is impossible to personally experience and learn from every accident scenario so we must rely on others to come up with guidelines for us to follow.
This is why we are required to carry a pfd for everyone on board. This is why we carry fire extinguishers.
Rest assured though, even when all the rules are followed, there are still plenty of dumb things you can do to potentially maim or kill your friends and family, or complete strangers.
The url below is for the Washington boating rules on the State Parks web site.

Is your boat legal in the San Juan's?
The answer is yes - probably
If your yacht is legal at home it's legal in the San Juan's, but only for 60 days. After 60 days you will be expected to leave the state or become compliant.
The laws in Washington State are pretty much the same as where you are coming from.
So you get a free pass for two months, but if your monster has expired tags, (vessel or rig) or you do not have a valid boaters card, you may be subject to re-training and fines.
And that's the way it is!
Let's go boating.
