We filled in the on-line form and received email clearance in a few minutes. It seemed too good to be true, so I phoned to check, and the officer advised that he had determined that there was no need to visit our boat.
Of course, you never know what they can do, since action is at the local officer's discretion.
I do not regret having been conservative and clearing out]]> Fri, 29 Aug 2025 03:22:01 GMT https://forums.oceancruisingclub.org/messages.aspx?TopicID=2275 Given the current climate I think the passage would be much more relaxed if I were properly cleared out. But maybe past experiences have made me more nervous than I should be?
