West Alton Sandbar - Marine Patrol Trouble

Alton Bay Resident · 07-08-2006, 07:00 PM

Anyone at West Alton Sandbar today (Sat. 7-8-06)? Heard the Marine Patrol gave out many citations for boats being too close to shore and not 50' between boats.... One of my friends who was there got a ticket for $43. Marine Patrol indicated they were following through on a petition from West Alton Marina???

I have been at this sandbar many times and is one of the few where small children can enjoy the water... My 'bitch' is the Marine Patrol is not consistent in their enforcement...

Another problem is if you show up early and another boat comes and parks too close to you are you going to tell them to move further from you? NOT....

Any 'inside' comments on this??
