 I just remembered what one lady down in Beaufort, SC, said to 
the 
 newspaper when they were discussing a new marina going into a 
creek 
 near her home.  She was opposed to them installing "a floating 
trailer 
 park" in the creek to spoil her view.  That's what property 
owners 
 think of your boats......"floating trailer parks". 
 
There was also a case on Hilton Head where someone was fishing in 
a creek off someone's land and the lady disliked them spoiling 
the view that her state rep. daughter tried to get a law passed 
about restricting the waters to a distance (I can't remember the 
exact amount, something like 300 yards)of private property. Then 
we have the problem that there are very few creeks that are wider 
than that. It didn't pass because it ended up being a federal 
jurisdiction. Btw, the daughter is no longer in public office.
