Thoughts? Don't flame me I'm just wondering how everyone else feels.

Hmmm...I get gas there each time I valet out of there. Perhaps they only have the pump on shore working and still waiting for the state to "approve" the ones out at the end of the docks. I'll check next time.

So now I'm confused. Was MM pushing the no wake zone for a "proposed" gas dock that wasn't approved yet? Did they have a gas dock at one time that was rescinded by the state for some reason? Was MM grand standing or exaggerating the conditions in front of Marine Patrol officials, just to get what they were after? I'm just wondering why the zone was approved predicated on a non operational gas dock for the safety of non existent staff out on it.

they had a working gas dock last year...this season the dock pumps were not operating but im not sure if they're still closed because they fill my tank while it's on the forklift before they splash the boat.
Haven't seen anyone using the gas docks yet either...

I visit Meredith by boat less often. What I notice is the Miss Meredith boat appears to be snubbing the no wake law. Did Maclear get special privilege?
I don't think it is right.

As it is quite convenient to me, I popped over to MM gas dock to fill up about a month ago. As I approached, there was a boat at the gas dock, but I did not see their "OPEN" flag, that they have always flown in the past, which I thought was odd, since it was a Friday or Saturday morning in July. Upon docking, one of their worker dudes came out onto the gas dock and said that it was closed. I asked why, and he said that major upgrades, (presumably meaning major $$), would be required to meet environmental regulations, so they have opted to shut it down instead.

For what it's worth, I was also told the same thing at Anchor Marine when they closed up shop a year or more ago, yet the gas dock there is open under East Coast Flightcraft, (ECFC may have brought it up to code, if that was indeed the issue there)

East Coast Flight Craft did indeed invest in the upgrades needed

So I ask again...Can we get our old No Wake Zone back?

When I was having my boat put in the water last week at Meredith Marina I asked what was going on with the gas docks and they told me they were waiting for the state to approve the repairs before they could reopen.

I called him out on that some time ago...my wife and I were dining at Lago last spring (early season) and he came motoring through the NWZ at quite a clip, obviously creating a nasty wake.
He claimed he was doing something or other I can't recall exactly what and that normally he obeys the NWZ rule...alas, I (and others) have seen him numerous times since, cruising at a clip with NO REGARD to the wake he's causing.
No consequences, no obeying...
