A US flagged boat departing US waters does not need a zarpe to enter most British Comonwealth ports though one is recommended. However, as it will be a foreign flag when it departs that port it will need a zarpe to enter the next. The French and Spanish bureaucratic culture seem to particularly relish the paperwork.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain
