Entry # 12
While circumnavigating each of the Great Lakes, I will need to periodically dock for supplies, pump out (and shower) in both the U.S. and Canada. A NEXUS Trusted Traveller pass would allow for Canadian border docking and U.S. re-entry without potential Customs delay(s). However, due to the government shutdown I may have applied for my NEXUS pass too late.
March 14th: All my efforts to date to confirm the status of my NEXUS application thus far has proven to be an effort in futility. Due to the delay in the processing of applications, I may be requested to be interviewed by the government a month into my circumnavigation. That will not be feasible and contingencies are being contemplated.
I’ve contacted my 14th District Congressal Representative Brenda Lawrence for assistance.
