Could someone please clarify the intent of the i-68?
I was under the impression the i-68 is a form that entitles you to call in your entry by phone instead of having to report to an in person inspection.
One might say, 50 shades of grey, is there a difference between landing (anchor/touch ground) and entering (navigating) US waters.
If you do not own an i-68, are you obligated to report to a port-of-entry in person?
Thanks!

I-68 form?
If fishin ain't your mission, then you can kiss my Bass!
Re: I-68 form?
you only need to call in if you are going to be landing or anchoring in US waters or touching land,the I68 entitles you to be within 25 miles of shore,in US waters, for a period of no longer than 72 hours,where you have to be careful is that an I-68 is issued individually,and for families that boat together regularly,if you have somebody on your boat w/out an I-68,then basically yours is useless,and you have to report to a port of entry,or use one of those video phones,that are supposedly in canadian marina's.

When I fished Renegade we always got them but found them to be a waste of time and money in the end.

Take the time, get your nexus card, good for 5 years, this is what the guys on the water would prefer to see.
