Anchoring overnight ?

If you study the laws, technically you can anchor overnight on the lake. But the boat cannot be a cabin cruiser with head and galley.

The MP will ask you to move or tell you cannot anchor overnight. If they arrest you and you have a boat without a head and galley, it can be thrown out of court.

They need to change the law to any and all boats cannot anchor between dusk and dawn.

I would like to see all boats that are to be occupied during the night on water must have a head. Regardless if at a slip, moored or anchored. If you want to anchor at night, approval from the abutting landowner would be mandatory.

Well I think you can anchor now if you have permission from the landowner.
