SVRS / Float plan replaced by ROAM app
Posted: 20 Apr 2018 08:01 AM PDT
As of April 15, the SVRS and float plan system has been replaced by a new app called ROAM available for ios and droid.
We used it to clear coming back into Miami a few days ago.
Once you download the app, you need to create an account at login.gov.
The app allows you to enter passenger and vessel data (including photo of each passport).
Upon return to the US, you select the passengers, vessel and answer a few basic questions about the trip. After submitting the data, a customs officer will initiate a video call inside the app. You will need to have person show their face and passport.
Quick and easy. Then you get a clearance confirmation by email.
And the best is that Non LBO US citizens do not have to go to immigration.
Staniel Cay depths
Posted: 20 Apr 2018 04:07 AM PDT
Garmin charts and Nobeltec TZ app have conflicting depth info for Staniel Cay YC approach from the West. Do most deep draft vessels enter the marina from the East (Atlantic), or is the bank side ok? I have 5′ draft…
Thanks!
