The point is: Let's limit over night anchoring to those that have the proper on board toilets of some sort, not ban all over night anchoring of all boats.
I agree, but with a clarification. I would like to see some designated areas on the lake approved for overnight anchoring. I don't think overnights should be approved and allowed at public docks. For example, it's already hard enough to get to dock at Center Harbor on a Saturday or Sunday AM for breakfast, or whatever. If overnight docking were to be allowed, there would be no space available to pull in for breakfast or for whatever reason.
Overnight anchoring, yes, in restricted areas, overnight docking at public docks, no.
Just as you are not allowed to pull your motor home into a public parking lot and camp out, neither should you be allowed to overnight at a public dock.
