The poster was not coming from Anegada. He sailed the Anegada passage from St Martin. I guess the key to if he was treated wrong is what time of day did the patrol boat find him. He is required to proceed basically as soon as possible to clear customs in the morning if you arrive after customs is closed. If it was 8 AM when the patrol boat showed up The whole thing is BS. If it was 11AM than the BVI authorities are probably correct.
I suspect they did target the US flagged vessels because boats coming over from the USVI without clearing are rather common. Since in his post he stated his destination was the USVI they probably felt he was going to leave and sail to the USVI that day and not clear in and out of the BVI.
