Weather: Sunny and warm. Winds: Light. Seas: Calm.
Mostly a slow motor for the 10-sh nautical miles.
Since we were getting a slip in the marina, folded the amas upon arrival. Folding also made sense with the expected traffic at the customs and immigration dock.
Had heard some horror stories about clearing customs at Roche. Huge traffic jams, boats barging in and unhappy customs officials. RT was just clearing customs as we arrived. After a bit of radio chit chat, we were the 5th boat in line. While the line remained orderly, we hovered about and 30min later, a spot opened for us and we slipped right in.
I always get a kick out of the official's question about what I do for work. "Retired." "You are too young for retirement! What did you do?" "Navy!"
Turns out this CIBP official started out as a marine and then retired from the army. Nice guy and a nice chat!
Motor to our slip was uneventful!
