You'll need a port pass, sailor moon. Otherwise known as a pass port, because you need it to pass through a port.
Those pesky laws of the land really only kick in once you hit land. Until then you're in international waters. Technically you might already be considered to be in Mexico but only the coastguard would argue such a thing until you dock.
In practice, if you just anchor in a bay and row to shore...you might enjoy whatever you came to enjoy and then get all the way home without anyone asking you about anything.
This is good because it saves you dealing with beaurocrats but you also don't get a nice stampo in passporto.
This advice will work until it doesn't and when it doesn't you'll have a bunch of problems.
That is very true, but it's a pirate's life for me.
Almost as much fun as kayaking among whales off the San Juan Islands, getting lost in the experience of it, and landing in BC without enough light left to make it back to the US on one's own.
Lesson: always bring your passport. 😬
