These Johnie come lately types should put their focus to building more docks rather than upsetting the apple cart, it can be done, but it's highly unlikely they would put their money where their mouths are.

I can see both sides. You do make a great point. For example, I'm closing next week on a lot in Balmoral. I've been vacationing up there for 20 years and am well aware about the dock situation. I don't think it's necessarily fair but rather than focus on being new to the community and pissing on a bees nest, I'd be more curious about options and logistics to expand the dock system. There is plenty of space to go out from the beach. You could potentially double or even triple the amount of docks. Anyone know if that's been discussed?
