Docks and people who store their boats on them are a definite
threat.
Get real.
Take the Bahamas, for example. The docks draw thieves like
a rotting carcass draws vultures. These thieves eventually
look at anchored boats and attempt to rob them as well.
It's mooring fields that usually draw thieves around here. Dovks are
surrounded by marinas that usually have security systems. Other thing is,
most marinas in W. Michigan are in small tourist towns where there is very
little crime to ebgin with...
Docks cause a massive outflow of raw sewage because we
all know people on docks just flush their crap overboard.
Great Lakes: everything is capped off. You can't dump anything. You must
go to a pump out station.
Docks are a haven for rats, seagulls, stray dogs and
people with criminal backgrounds who want to evade
the law.
A dock had a pair of mink several years running...they were cute but you had
to be careful not to get too close...
Docks are a hurricane hazard because they often break
up and loose and drift down on anchored boats causing
them to be damaged when they otherwise would have been
quite safe.
Don't have an hurricanes here and they pick up the docks before hard winter
sets in...
Docks are an oily place with people pumping bilge water
and polluting the entire area around the docks.
That's another no-no here....you can get a massive fine from the DNR for
doing that...
Docks are noisy and uncivilized.
I'll give you that one...
Need I continue.

It's terribly sad when people's entire life is defined by a dock
with a letter designation.
My entire life isn't defined by a dock with a letter designation. Well,
okay, maybe it is.
You people just will never know how pathetic your silly ramblings
sound to a real sailor who knows deep in his heart that a dock
equals a slum for wannabe sailors.
And you have a problem with that? g
