I am not normally a supporter of the "I didn't know that was illegal" defense, but how are those who do not already have mooring permits supposed to know of the new law. It sounds from the discussion that the new law is included in those materials but I am curious have they promulgated this new law anywhere else? It seems to me that there will be quite a few people who don't hear of the new law and, quite frankly, I hope they are just reminded with a friendly warning. I strongly believe that newcomers to the lake should make certain they know the safety laws of the lake before renting a boat or something like that. But I have a feeling on this one there will be alot of people who have had a raft outside their camp for 50 years and will somehow miss the memo.

Also, I wonder if this is in response to the new yellow tampolines and slides that have appeared in the last five years. Just a thought.

Finally, thanks Bear Islander for the link to the permit.
