Drug trafficking(sp?) maybe. As well as that, how do they know where the boat came from? You could be a refugee for all they know, so I'm sure ID would be required in that situation.Quote:

Its only drug-smugglers or the extremely rich who would typically be making their own way across the sea.

Sorry if my little joke offended you ;) :)
I own a boat (I'm neither wealthy enough, or vain enough, or it's not big enough, to call it a yacht). I'm not offended, but I do know a lot of average Joes, and Jos, who would be nowhere near any 'extremely rich' category who regularly sail to the UK and beyond.
