Corruption is alive and well in this port.
Our boat was thoroughly searched by customs on check-in, and we we’re told that absolutely NO Alcohol was allowed and that a fine would be given for the 1 bottle of wine and a few open bottles of Rum and Whiskey. The impression was conveyed that issuing the fine would also take a few days to process, clearly because they knew we were only making a quick stop to collect fresh goods and water, ready to leave the next day while our weather window holds.
Eventually we had to pay a US$80 bribe to complete the inspection and get checked-in.
Disappointing as it’s a close sail for us from our home port in Kemah, TX. This has now gone onto the “don’t visit again” list and we’ll rather try other tourist destinations.
