US, Canadian boat owners left in limbo after armed raid on marinas by Mexico tax officials
MEXICO CITY (AP) - When heavily armed marines and government tax agents stormed eight marinas on Mexico's Pacific and Caribbean coasts, boaters thought they were witnessing a major drug takedown.
The mostly American and Canadian retirees found out that the target was actually them — couples spending their golden years sailing warm-weather ports in modest 40-foot boats.
After inspecting more than 1,600 vessels in late November, the Mexican government's Treasury Department announced it had initiated seizure orders against 338 boats it accused of lacking a $70 permit. The office says it has four months to decide whether to release the boats or sell them at auction.

You just may be right, the cbayer primitive becoming a pedestrian.

I'll can't wait for Amber to spring into action to offer cbayer tips on hitchhiking, much like she did when she offered tips on how to deal with homeless people.
