My experience over many years is that the Customs Officers are always most polite and helpful. They fill in a form in duplicate. A copy is given to the yacht which is valid for one year and can be shown on a subsequent visit. They have a difficult and dangerous job to do including large drug hauls on foreign yachts several times every year, and any attention from them should be welcomed. I agree that three visits in one week is too much and may have been a mistake, but nevertheless they are all powerful and every respect should be shown. It is worth going out of your way to meet them if they are berthed in a marina and having a chat. They may even show you around their amazing patrol boats.
