The Cruising License is required for foreign boats in US waters. There is a 15 day waiting period after it's one-year expiry before it can be renewed. Last year I was told by a CPB officer in Friday Harbour that the waiting period did not apply to US-built boats. That exemption is also referenced in the 2019 Waggoner Cruising Guide at p.26. I went to the CBP web-site. The exemption is not set out in its FAQ's so I emailed for clarification. All I got back was the same answer I got when I wrote initially - word for word. If the exemption exists, the web-site needs to be updated. Does anyone have a reference to the definitive answer on this?
Also at Waggoner', p.26 and again at p.78, there is reference to an Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Prevention Permit, new for 2018 for non-Washington State registered boats. The permit is purchased through Washington State Fish and Wildlife for $24 which must be renewed annually. Has anyone dealt with these?
