There are Rules

Found this link off Cruiser's Net. It's about the state of the anchorage in St. Augustine, and a public meeting about the issue.

Quote:

Among the plan’s goals are a management system determining where boats may anchor safely, requiring that live-aboard vessels properly dispose of waste, addressing the issue of derelict boats, and ultimately encouraging responsible boating and increased public accessibility to the water.

I'm not a big fan of rules and regulations. And I'm sure that whatever the government officials decide, will make it more of a hassle to visit St. A. (Hey, they already charge $10/day for their dinghy dock.)

But I agree that they have to do something. It's just out of control with the number of boats that have been "parked" there. It's unfortunate that the St. Augustine sailing community couldn't find a way to police themselves.
