    Odd questions from Canada Customs

    Border agents (from both Canada and the US) have been know to ask questions to try and trip you up. Throwing a curve ball now and then is par for the course. If they think you lied then can refuse entry.

    Will the Titanic claim a few more?

    I'll bet their Liability Waiver is fairly airtight so unless it's shown to be gross negligence there won't be many lawsuits. Is it gross negligence if everyone is told about an issue and your paying customer still goes?

    What’s your favorite YouTube channels on trawlers and maritime issues

    Really? I just looked up their channel and the title of their latest episode is "LOST AT SEA ! Struggles of Living on a boat in a Remote Location in the Bahamas- Ep 21". Just sounds like more of the same that I gave up on years ago. Hard pass.
