Public dock protocol

Bear Islander · 07-05-2006, 11:45 PM

I believe it is also OK to take a space that a waiting boat either can't see or is afraid to use.

The Wolfeboro town docks are very long. Often there are spaces near shore that waiting boats either can't see or are reluctant to try for. I have always been able to find an open space even when many boats are waiting.

Then I look around and find another open spot and try and wave the waiting boats in. Usually they decline the invitation.

My pet peeve is people that tie up to the second post in instead of the one on the end. They probably take two spaces when they park their car as well.
