Like can I just jump in my boat and go? Do I have to alert any authority about my trip? What are the chances the coast guard boards my boat to search it? How do you find a marina in Mexico? Do I have to alert the Mexican government of my trip? I assume I need a passport.
This is to settle a very polite heated discussion between my partner and I. Where neither of us know what we’re talking about.
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.
Yeah you need a passport. Just look up any marina and go there. Coast guard might search your boat, but they can do that to anyone. You don’t need to alert either government.
I misread “marina” and thought you were asking about where to find marijuana in Mexico.
The most casually planned smuggling operation in history there.
Funny story about me and weed, or would it be weed and I? Anyway, I started smoking weed when I was 12. Since then I have done every drug that has been available to me. I enjoyed most of them. The only one that got me was heroin.
So, after over a decade of heroin abuse. Then around 5 years of methadone. I finally got off the methadone, and I find that I can’t get fucked ip any more. But not because of what your probably thinking.
I got off opiates. I smoked some weed. It makes me paranoid. I drank some beer I kinda got drunk, but mainly it just made me feel like shit. I hate stimulants. So things like coke or crack or meth are a no go. I even grew my own mushrooms, but they gave me a headache. I’m not going back to opiates.
I’m involuntarily sober and it fucken sucks. I’m an insob. Hehehe
Not trying to tell you to go do drugs or anything, but you could try some other classical psychedelics or even some of the novel ones.
The weed of today is not the same as the weed you tried 15 years ago. That shit is so potent that I don’t see how you can actually enjoy it anymore.
I think I am going to try micro dosing mushrooms again. I really enjoyed that. Like I looked forward to the day I got to take them because all day I just felt happy. The reason I stopped is because I get really bad migraines and that seemed to make them happen more frequently. But I just got a new treatment for that, and it seems to be working. Plus I’ve got some mycelium on petri dishes that are screaming for some moist grain. I’ve just been too apathetic, and I just got this new treatment like last week. So, I’ll give that another go.
It’s likely because you’ve hammered your dopamine receptors for so long, they can barely get a signal anymore.
You are unfortunately probably correct. I find myself having trouble finding “happiness” in life. So, that makes me seek out pleasure. Which is just a fancy way of saying I’m a hobby whore.
I got into lock picking for a while. It really does feel good to hear and feel those tumblers click. I went about as far as I could without devoting serious time and effort for minimal gains.
Now, I’m fishing. I don’t live in Mississippi, but I do live in Alabama. It’s pretty warm here year round. I try to go fishing at least twice a week. I don’t sport fish. Which means that if a catch a fish too big or too small I let it go. Otherwise I keep and eat it.
Plus it has the added benefit of getting my fat ass out the house. There are several water ways close by. I just put all my stuff in a backpack. Grab a machete. Hike through the woods to a spot where no one can find me, and fish. It’s awesome.
No advice to offer but tell us about your trip when you get back that sounds cool as hell.
I would love to, but unfortunately I am an old millennial that’s barely making it from paycheck to paycheck. I consider myself lucky to have a roof and full belly most of the time. The closest I’ll ever come to making that trip. Is the fishing kayak I plan on buying with income tax money this year.
Truthfully, the reason I posted this is because my partner and I were talking about a hypothetical trip and the logistics involved. These questions were the main points of contention. They thought that you’d have to tell the US government when/where you were going and coming back. File a bunch of paperwork with both governments. Definitely have your ship boarded and searched. Stuff like that.
I figured it would be just go down there, and come back. If a US coast guard ship saw you they might stop and search you. Otherwise no muss no fuss.
But, as is usually the case. Neither of us were exactly right, and the truth lies somewhere in between.
Another option would be to team up with a cartel and shoot your way into Mexico .
