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 those 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 boater's card, you may be subject to re-training and fines.


And that's the way it is!
Let's go boating.
