Is it acceptable to enter foreign waters and then buy a courtesy flag after clearing customs & immigration rather than arrive flying the courtesy flag?

”We are off! The courses and topsails are set: the coral-hung anchor swings from the bow: and together, the three royals are given to the breeze, that follows us out to sea like the baying of a hound.”

What about the Conflicted Sailer that owns both a power boat and sail boat? It’s like having a wife and a girlfriend, so I’m told. There are few things more exciting than planing on mirror-like open water at dawn going 64 kts to be the first at your favorite bass hole. And there are few [...]

Suggest joining as crew at Galveston Bay Cruising Association. I found significant opportunities there. Also, see my profile, please, for those with developed seamanship skills interested in an adventure.

James ,
New to this site but have sailed from U.S. to Canada several times. My understanding is that you dont hoist courtesy flag until after clearing customs and it can fly until you are once again cleard home or another country.
James,
As soon as you arrive in foreign water, you should raise a ” Q” flag to let customs know that your vessel is healthy and that you would like to clear customs. Once you clear customs, you should have a courtesy flag onboard and replace the ”Q” flag with the courtsey flag. Have a great trip! linda
