Michael, I did not know this.  My US license is about to expire.  If the
cost is nominal and I can schedule the exam, I'd do it.  I don't need a
license down here.

Are you sure about this latter part?  My reading of the US regs indicates
that the pair of licenses demanded of US boaters traveling in foreign
waters follows US limits.  If you have a link to the regulations governing 
foreing boaters using VHF in Canada, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
