Houseboat vs day cruiser.
Broadhopper,
Was caught by MP myslef many years ago, achoring overnight. Was tucked back into a small cove out of the main travel channel/lane.
It was 1AM in the morning and I had 4 others onboard sleeping. Only reason MP pulled up, was because he spotted my anchor light, which I turned on
for safety reasons. MP (older guy-50+), made me start-up and leave location. Found another cove 15 min away, anchored and settled back-in
for the night. No problems!
IMO. Honestly, I think this is a ridiculous rule. If the captain takes the necessary precautions, anchor light on, and is in a location out of the general travel lanes, what's the harm ! I know you have to have rules for the general saftety of the public, but think this one should be reviewed !
What's our State slogan ? Think it may be time to be changed?
IMO Every new law is killing our State and way of life, not really adding to quality of life !
