Mm-hmm.

Once you're out, uh, 13 nautical miles is the minimum to be outside territorial waters.

Once you're outside territorial waters, you're no longer subject to the laws of the host nation.

You're still within the contiguous zone up to 24 nautical miles, which means that they can take military actions against v- uh, vessels that they deem to be military threats.

But if you're not a military threat and you're just worried about, you know, taxes and regulation, then 13 miles is, is usually enough.

Um- But anyways, yeah, being close to land helps of course, because logistically if we want Airbnb guests to be able to get out here quickly, being a half kilometer away is a lot better than being 13 miles away.

Um, the fresh waters is cheaper to boat in.

Mm-hmm.
