Emile asked: "Would anyone who has recent experience transporting a personally-owned kayak by car across the U.S./Canadian border care to offer some advice or caveats to the uninitiated?" I have often brought kayaks (non-folding) back and forth across the border at Sault Ste. Marie. Customs officials have never expressed any undue interest in the fact that I was carrying one. ("Undue" is the key word: One Canadian turned out to be a fellow kayaker and was very interested in tips I gave him for paddling in Georgian Bay.) I usually try to bring my boat papers with me, including my Illinois license: perhaps the only practical application for registration of my watercraft in Illinois, but a cheap price, if I am ever hassled about it. I will know by the end of the summer whether post-9/11 protocol has changed.
