Thanks for posting this :-) There was also a similar one for Washington State but I can't find it at the moment. Perhaps someone closer has the form in PDF format or a website where it is posted. Noonsite, on its webpage has it referenced at the top http://www.noonsite.com/Countries/USA/Seattle but no further references. I though I had it but can't find it offhand. In either case it appears to have nothing to do with a cruising permit or such. Cheers Dave & Nancy Swan Song Roughwater 58 Caribbean Cruise '07
