That's the last thing a new mother recovering would need to deal with. I feel bad for all of the others.

Compared to everyone else, we should have been on the list, but for that sticker in the window. <br /><br />Behan, it sounds like it was only boats in marinas that were checked, though we have heard from one cruiser that they also looked at boats in the anchorage. And Melissa, the harbormaster was really concerned for us because he knew we were in Guadalajara having a baby and just couldn't get back in time to find our paperwork.

Sounds to me like this is nothing more than a way for the government to make some money. But then again, isn't that what most regulations are?

I really hope the Mexican officals-that-be realize this is not the way to promote a bunch of gringos hanging out and spending money in your country, and back off the crazy stuff soon. Is it ONLY boats in marinas getting checked? Or do they come out in the anchorages, too?Behan - s/v Totemhttp://sv-totem.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429991721363956274.post-83488313521130984102013-12-31T16:58:07.330-08:002013-12-31T16:58:07.330-08:00Glad to hear you guys are safe from that.
