And Robi, you can appreciate this, in that story about the shortest boat I mentioned above, the reason Hugo had to leave from Nova Scotia on his second crossing was, the US Coast Guard sent him a letter which said his vessel was unseaworthy and if he was found in US Waters, he would be towed in, arrested, and his boat would be confiscated. So he went up north to launch.
I love my job, we keep idiots from voluntarily killing themselves in the ocean.
