Crossing the US Border on a Jetski

[@parrisprice2484]

I lived in Buffalo all my life but, you just gave me more appreciation for Buffalo. Your awesome! Loved your trip.

[@NigelHay]

I have to admit, it's nicer by the water

[@akhill4898]

The windmills are located on the old slag piles left over from the steel plant closed in1982 ,

[@NigelHay]

Well before my time of living over here. Thanks for letting me know.

[@craighudson4382]

Nice Nigel!. Hard to believe the grief the CBA gave you compared to the US. Unreal! Great video though man, loved the old silos and elevators. Very cool to see.

[@NigelHay]

The CBSA Superintendent was very cool though, He couldn't understand all the fuss she was making. he basically said all i have to do is call the number

[@tylermarshall7969]

Buffalo riverworks is an outdoor hockey rink double pad. They hold cross border minor hockey tournaments and stuff. Nice restaurant also.

[@philh1245]

This is a great video, i've crossed border by foot, bicycle, car and flown over howerver I'd like to now cross over by seadoo to complete my bucket list.

[@NigelHay]

I'll give you a ride over

[@billg5608]

Great video Nigel! Very informative if I want to do a similar trip in the future.

[@toddminer1933]

Hey there. Had difficulty sending previous comment, so will keep this short. Great vlog. You may want to hop on the Buffalo River Historical tours cruise boat next visit. You can pick them up at Canalside. Cheers

[@NigelHay]

My apoloogies for not seeing this, I really enjoyed my second adventure on the Buffalo River, Hoping to explore Erie canal soon.

[@whatisup798]

Very informative thanks Nigel, it’s nice to explore new places!

[@NigelHay]

Can't wait to go back over, next time the video will be shorter

[@LADHP]

Looks like the Port Dalhousie carousel!💕

[@MayooN]

Very informative Nigel ! Amazing !

[@GAM-TIME]

Hello Nigel - I really enjoy your videos we got our SeaDoo last year & love going on adventures like you do - it’s nice to see the different places you go as we live near KCMO so visit all the lakes in MO frequently - I love a good river ride the best though

[@NigelHay]

Thanks Brian. Glad you enjoy the content. Always nice to meet similar minded riders too.

[@weatherornotheresmike]

That’s funny I just moved to Buffalo from Kansas City and was planning on riding my JetSki over to Canada. Lol

[@estevanorozco3954]

Going from Tijuana to imperial beach the same way. Wish me luck!

[@3akoscielski]

Nigel, you may want to consider getting a Nexus card. I've never used it for use for marina crossings but I have it to cross the ambassador bridge all the time and it makes it super quick and easy. I believe it should make your marina crossings easier as well. You may want to look into it

[@NigelHay]

I was in the process of applying just when Covid hit and then they closed the border. I'll apply this weekend.

[@3akoscielski]

@@NigelHay I'm finally crossing over on Saturday for a group ride through the Detroit River up to Sarnia and back (150 miles/240 km). I looked into crossing the border a bit more for Nexus and if you have Nexus you can call the Nexus Marine phone number, 0.5 to 4 hours before you land back in Canada and they'll approve you over the phone. Seems easy enough. Thanks for the video; it helped me feel more confident in crossing by waterway.

[@paulpuglia8480]

That's the old Boblo boat that was the Columbia it went from the downtown Detroit to Boblo Island in Canada

[@NigelHay]

I plan on going back there probably in June with another Sea doo KZbin vlogger and do another piece on it

[@paulpuglia8480]

@@NigelHay They were revamping that boat and it caught fire it was supposed to come back to Detroit on the Detroit river for but they scraped that. There was a sister boat just like that 1 called the Saint Clair that one went to another state I think Chicago. Like your channel sorry to hear what happened to your drone. I live off Lake Saint Clair in Michigan. I hope to get my 2023 Sea Doo FishPro Trophy this time next year but I don't know about this economy if should order it. I hear gas is going to be $10.00 a gallon by this time next year WOW! Have a great weekend and can't wait for your next video ciao ciao.

[@NigelHay]

@@paulpuglia8480 thanks Paul. The lost drone was Bob not me. I saw that too, expensive day out for him. As for your concern of the economy, I have had to re budget a few things so I can still enjoy my Sea doo. Less coffee shops for a start. Save easily $50 per week by taking my own tea and coffee to work with me

[@paulpuglia8480]

@@NigelHay I watched so many KZbin's on peoples jet skis I got a little confused yeah it was Bob thanks for the correction. I've cut a lot of corners myself on expenses can't cut too much more LOL Anyway looking forward to your next video be safe ciao ciao.

[@realtruth716]

The Edward.M.Cotter is the oldest working fireboat in the United States and buy fuel in the US it's cheaper...

[@nometalgearr]

You don't need the arrive can bs. I've been travelling, they keep asking for it but I never provide

[@NigelHay]

Better safe than sorry

[@dcwshoreline5416]

Hey Nigel, do you know the maximum amount of time a canadian can stay in the U.S.A with this method you have shown? Thanks man.

[@NigelHay]

It would be the same as it would be as if you were driving your car over, I think it's up to 6 months as a visitor.

[@cathyhutchinson2246]

Wasn't there a war ship over there that was sinking and they were trying to save it or am I getting that confused with somewhere else?

[@davemiller3856]

I beleive that was the Sullivans

[@LADHP]

It's down further, closer to the falls.

[@NigelHay]

I need to Google this now

[@danreynolds7051]

It was the Sullivans. It did sink despite efforts to keep it afloat. I don’t know what the current plan is.

[@cathyhutchinson2246]

Thanks for the info !

[@optiks87]

hey nigel did you not talk to us border officials at all ?

[@NigelHay]

Only via Video link for US (CBP) and then a phone conversation with Canada Border Agents, Just to add, CBP did tell me that once in their system for that trip, if a patrol boat stopped me then my info will be available to them.

[@optiks87]

So I think if you stepped on US soil you have to talk to USA officers. I've never done it though so I don't know

[@NigelHay]

@@optiks87 if you moor, anchor or step on land in the US and have to done the CBP Roam app and been authorized I believe you can be detained. The CBP approval means you have legally been allowed to travel into the US.

[@3506Dodge]

You could have easily gone to the shore and walking into the trees. The US northern border isn't as secure as I'd thought.

[@SquiggyWigginz]

I would like you to come out with a goose to human translation video. 😃

[@NigelHay]

I am still learning, next Spring i will ask them a question

[@SquiggyWigginz]

@@NigelHay excellent.

[@earlgray4333]

You should just do like on our southern border and just come right over forget all that formality stuff besides your JetSki was built in Mexico you kind of have you know all right I guess. Lol Sarcasm

[@NigelHay]

It did feell a bit like that, what was the name of the Mexican that assembled it and does he have ties with a cartel?

[@archiebunker7688]

If you wear a Biden shirt you get 19 grand and free ice cream.

[@WoodysRTBFirewood]

If you wear a trump shirt hopefully you can aid in him getting 19 years in prison.

[@archiebunker7688]

What justice system do you support, the one handling Trump dishes out 1,000 years if you spit on a sidewalk- now Rachel Maddow is afraid? A legal system used for political reasons is a flawed legal system period! Seriously flawed. Like Swiss cheese flawed, so flawed you could poke 1,000 holes in it.

[@EETSTHECREATOR]

If your an American why even bother telling them your home. Just drive your Ski home

[@EETSTHECREATOR]

Fear based compliance is why they got the world wearing masks. “If you touch the land you have to tell us” how about I know Im un detectable 😂 I’m not even making that phone call

[@NigelHay]

I'm wearing a mask to keep the bugs out of my mouth
