Quite difficult to comment given only one side of the story, but it’s hard to see why he couldn’t have checked in at Spanish Town given that he was moored at Peter by 4.30.

it definitely sounds like things got heated on both sides but if it all happened as per his post then he seems to have been in the wrong 1) for not checking in at his first point of entry (Spanish Town) 2) for going to Peter instead of stopping at a port of entry overnight if Immigration was shut and 3) by picking up a ball when he should have been at anchor.

He was obviously more than steamed, judging by the tone of his post, and if he threw that sort of attitude at the C&I officers who first approached him I bet they were pretty unaccommadating.
