On Wednesday night, October 16, the U.S. Congress struck a deal to end the 16 day government shutdown. Work affecting recreational boating will resume at agencies including the Department of Interior, EPA, and NOAA.

The Senate overwhelmingly ratified the deal, 81 to 18 with more than half of Senate Republicans voting yes. A few hours later, the House followed suit, approving the measure 285 to 144. Obama signed the measure into law shortly after midnight, reopening parks and monuments across the nation, restoring government services and putting furloughed federal employees back on the job.

Canada and the United States have the distinction of having the longest border in the world, officially known as the "International Boundary". Of course, much of this boundary runs through water, namely in the Great Lakes region, and many boaters share common waters in many areas not only in this region, but from coast to coast. Cross border transactions of boat sales have been happening for many years, but with the change of economic times recently, there seems to have been a significant increase in cross border deals.
