How long can a boat stay anchored in one place?
 

How long can a boat stay anchored in one place before it has to move? One week?
One month? Six months? Is there any time limit in your community? Can a
liveaboard family stay anchored long enough in a community (in a warm climate)
to send their kids to school? Can any boater claim a nice anchorage as his or
her waterfront home without paying the expensive waterfront real estate taxes?

"Listen to the live broadcast of 'Nautical Talk Radio' with Captain Lou every
Sunday afternoon from 4 - 5 (Eastern Standard Time) on the web at
www.959watd.com or if you are in Boston or Cape Cod set your radio dial to
95.9FM.

================================================== ==

Restrictions in Cape Coral, FL are very explicit and restrictive. No
living aboard anywhere except at licensed marinas and two designated
anchorages. There is a two week maximum at the anchorages.

Not sure about the school question, might be OK at a marina.

Damn, Capt...I can only assume from the question that the "Capt" is an honorary
title.
Limits on anchoring out are governed by the local port district or what ever
group has authority in your area. Call the Coast Guard or local Harbor Police
for local info. It can vary from season to season also.
FYI, you won't be sending your kids to school from grade 1 to high school in
the San Diego area! Local Port District is not pleasure boat friendly.

Mike, I get the feeling that Capt Lou knows that each locality was different
and was asking in a "survey" style question. Possibly to feed his radio show
or just to start a non-political thread here in the boats group.
