Quote: No indians involved here, just puzzled about a question which seems to suggest some undercurrent of harbours refusing access. Your own post seems to suggest that they go out of their way to help? So I'm puzzled about your original question, and some of your subsequent posts. I don't understand fully what this thread is supposed to be about? Do you have personal experience of being denied, or have heard of others being denied access, other than being warned it's not sensisble to try and access a particular harbour or port, as in certain conditions, any sensisble harbour master would warn you off in conditions he knows to be dangerous.
No - not once have I implied that. I simply wanted to know of there was a law on it just like there is when you are skipper of a boat. Pure simple interest.
The original question was to see if there was a law I was not aware of - thats all.
As it happens there do seem to be overseas harbours that may well resist entry .
You are going way over the top looking for commies under the bed next but I suppose you feel sage as part of the pack:)
I have a telescope and ask questions about the moon but it does not mean I intend t=o go there!!!
