UNAUTH PENETRATION OF AIRSPACE. PROX OF CTL ZONE.

Narrative

ON AN ACFT REPOS FLT FROM ALASKA TO WASHINGTON. DURING THE FLT ALONG THE VANCOUVER ISLAND COAST LINE; I REQUESTED A CLRNC FROM COMOX TWR TO TRANSITION THROUGH THEIR CTL ZONE. THE TWR CALLED ME BACK AND RPTED HIS WX ON THE FIELD AND ASKED MY FLT CONDITIONS. I RPTED THAT I WAS VFR. (I WAS FLYING AN AMPHIBIOUS FLOAT PLANE ALONG THE COAST LINE OVER THE WATER.)HE THEN REQUESTED THAT I RPT ABEAM THE TWR. I ACKNOWLEDGED THAT I WOULD RPT PRIOR TO AND ALSO ABEAM THE TWR. HE GAVE ME A XPONDER SQUAWK CODE I EXPLAINED THAT THE ACFT IS FROM ALASKA AND DOESN'T HAVE A XPONDER OR ENCODER. I CALLED THE TWR AND RPTED ABEAM AT WHICH TIME HE RPTED THAT HE HAD ME IN SIGHT. THE TWR OPERATOR AT THAT TIME SAID THAT HE WAS NOT ABLE TO GIVE ME A CLRNC THROUGH THE ZONE BECAUSE THE FIELD WAS BELOW SPECIAL VFR CONDITIONS. HE ALSO SAID THAT IT WOULD BE BEST IF I DECIDED TO LAND. I RPTED THAT I WOULD PLAN ON LNDG. HE REQUESTED THAT I RPT CLR OF THE RWY CTRLINE AND CONTACT CORTNEY UNICOM AT WHICH TIME I RPTED CLR OF THE RWY AND ALSO RPTED ON THE WATER AT COMOX HARBOR. I TAXIED INTO THE HARBOR AND WAITED FOR CONDITIONS TO CHANGE. APPROX 2 HR LATER; DEPARTED OUTSIDE OF CTL ZONE; CONTINUED VFR. MY CONCERN WITH THIS INCIDENT WAS LACK OF INFO FROM THE CTLR WITH REGARD TO MY CLRNC INTO THE CTL ZONE. ALSO DEALING WITH MIL TWRS IN CANADA CAN AT TIMES BE CONFUSING DUE TO THEIR TYPE OF TERMINOLOGY. WHEN THE TWR STATED TO RPT ABEAM THE TWR; I BELIEVED THAT I WAS CLRED ALONG THE SHORELINE THROUGH THE ZONE. ALSO; NOT ONCE PRIOR TO ENTERING THE ZONE DID THE TWR SAY THAT HE WAS BELOW SPECIAL VFR WX MINIMUMS AND THAT I SHOULD STAY OUTSIDE OF THE ZONE. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS TYPE OF SITUATION IS A WAY TO SUCKER SOMEBODY INTO THE ZONE OR IF IT IS A FORM OF TACIT APPROVAL TO TRANSITION THE ZONE BECAUSE THE WATER RTE IS BELOW A RWY ELEVATION. I DIDN'T PHONE THE TWR UP AFTER LNDG AND WAS NOT REQUESTED TO PHONE ANYBODY.
