We at WCYC have been battling this law for years. We've been cited, charged, detained and even gone to court with a fines resulting. We've hired lawyers, proposed legislation to amend the law, nothing has worked for us. If you look at who proposed this law and why, you'd have a better understanding why it exist and more to the fact why it can't be changed.
It has nothing to do with pollution at all. I can't stay overnight on my mooring, but I can move 50' over to our docks and legally stay as long as I want. The State environmental police visit us every year to inspect our boats and issue us a permit, that's fixed to our boats windows.
The real question is: Who wrote this law and why can't it be amended or repealed? The answer is closer to you than you might think.
