Peter, you gotta stop anchoring out like a hermit. Those girls waving
from
the docks are really worth the dock fees!....(c;


Door County Wisconsin transient dockage runs around $55-65 per night for 35
feet of boat ("Escapade"). All to supply my own hotel on the dock? Anchoring
is free, and the shore is a short dinghy-ride away.


Hi KLC,
I don't know what the docking fees are here, I anchored until I cam up
on the hard but if you thin k your fees are steep, go to Europe 70
Euros $US 92) per night stern to quay plus water plus electricity for
a 40 foot boat and the tenable anchorages are getting harder to find.
Quite often you'd find an ideal sheltered anchorage on the chart
behind a point of land only to zoom in and find it marked as a
prohibited anchorage for no apparent reason. Nearby would be a marina.
Managed to avoid them though.

With all the talk about wi-fi and cell phones, what is going to be
the effects on both when companies like Clearwire and Sprint Nextel get
fully geared up with wi-max. Clearwire is already available at a price,
of course, and in very limited areas but it is on the way!

I think the reason is VERY apparent, don't you?

I imagine that the point of the prohibited anchorage was to drive customers
to the marina.

Come to Florida and anchor. The governor signed into law last August a
clarification of previous anchor law definitions. Basically, the new
legislation says municipalities may not restrict or control anchorage of
non-liveaboard vessels in any area other than in mooring fields. The law
also clarifies the definition of a "liveaboard" vessel. In effect, a
liveaboard vessel is one used ONLY for living aboard. If it can move and
does move from time to time, it cannot be defined as a liveaboard
vessel. If any law enforcement officer enquires if you are a
"liveaboard" just say no. Tell him you are a cruising sailor who lives
aboard while cruising but that your vessel is not your permanent
residence. They can't tell you to move on legally then.
