You will have a tough time getting into Canada as they are under-vaccinated and brain damaged regarding COVID.

Our good Canadian friend is living aboard in the Caribbean and may not go to the continental US or home to Canada. She can, however, travel with some effort to most of the Caribbean including the US territories. Duh!

I think Covid concerns are a topic for other threads, but Canada leads the world in first-dose vaccination levels, and will soon surpass most other countries for second dose.

The Canada/USA border remains closed to non-essential travel by mutual agreement. But it is slowly opening up. The next key date is July 21st. Unless cases start to rise dramatically due to the variants I bet the border will open up soon after that.

This is my understanding as well. I've never heard of anyone ever being checked, or even questioned, regarding their marine head set up. The poo police really seems to be an American thing (based on what I read here).

Maybe you should educate yourself on this before shooting off your mouth.

That's funny mike - it's the first thing they ask us on the USA side ... we'll maybe second after life jackets.. do you have a head , let's see it ( and the y valve better be secured closed)

For the OP - marinas all have water, pump out is usually the thing driving you into them anyway! Superior , I might drink it ; Huron ... ehhhh; south of that - no way , I can't even stand the smell of it flushing the head some days. We have a regular kitchen type filter on our galley tap, but just in case anything comes through the marina water lines.
