It is not really up to the individual office once you arrive. The risk here is that the "rule" is to check in at the first clearance point. If the BVI C&I patrol had been out in the channel and spotted you passing Sopers Hole they could have stopped and boarded and found you in violation. Probably could be cleared up if you were flying the Q but several boats coming around from Coral Bay heading for Spanish Town have been stopped and accused of heading for the Bight and had a very large hassle.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain
