Garbage and outdated law in true.
I live near Tampa. Every year there is like port disruptions, weather, fog or hurricane, that interferes with a 4-day cruise out of Tampa. Trip cut a day short due to a late returning vessel or such. Next trip is a 4 day to Mexico. Can’t get there with only 3 days out. So our lovely govt will make a one-time exemption so they can ‘sail to nowhere’
Isn’t our govt great. There is no reason this should be possible with permission.
Jones Act. Massive drag on economy to protect corrupt unions.
