Bay Pelican
Moderator Emeritus
For the third time in eight years the French authorities boarded Bay Pelican and searched for weapons (and cocaine I assume). Three members of the boarder patrol (Douane) spent 90 minutes going over every storage area (and books) on Bay Pelican. While they did miss a couple of my hiding spots, they would have found a weapon if I had had one because they covered all the areas I would have put a weapon.
Suggestion, if you are coming to one of the French Islands, leave the weapons home, or declare them on entry.
This is not meant to be a discussion of weapons on board so please don't hijack the thread.
French law does not allow you to take a photo of a Douane officer without covering his face, so here is a picture of their boat tied to Bay Pelican.
