We're not too sure which islands call pepper spray illegal, but we have never been asked about it on a customs form. We do carry this, which is one-up on pepper in both strength and range: _http://www.counterassault.com/Bear_Deterrent/counter_assault_bear_deterrent.h tml_ (http://www.counterassault.com/Bear_Deterrent/counter_assault_bear_deterrent.html) In our experience, the days are gone when your boat will be "rummaged" by customs unless they have a reason to suspect you are trafficking or have a boat full of undeclared weapons. Of course we have not been everywhere. Even so, I can't imagine any punishment worse than confiscation and we're willing to take the risk.

Here's an interesting concept that's been forwarded before. Take an old fire extinguisher, open it up and empty the contents. Clean, dry, fill with cayenne pepper (the HOT stuff, not the regular), charge it up and it makes one helluva self protection device. On the outside, it's just a fire extinguisher. Just don't make the mistake of trying to put out a fire with it!
