Yep that's how it works...the few bad apples analogy...look at the Gun initiatives..they are all about the guns as the problem not the criminals that use them...mine haven't hurt anybody.

There seems to some implication that they, the Nanaimo Port Authority, are levelling some sort of penalty or fee for anchoring. This is not the case. If you are a transient boat staying less than 14 days, no issue at all. If you are staying longer, the Port Authority will issue a permit if it is an occupied vessel in compliance with the colregs and local requirements(holding tanks). The area in question, last time I was out there, had about...

I suggest that you do a little study on the philosophy and effective tactics of radical change. “Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals” ~ by Saul D.

Rex I totally agree with you . I was told a few years ago by Coast Guard Anchored vessels and mooring balls deemed a hazard to navigation can be removed but no one knows who has the authority to do so or the financing and facilities . There is becoming a shortage of good safe anchorage anywhere on the south coast. Mooring balls are even a worse issue as vessels tied to them don't swing with the other boats at anchor. Almost all of them...

El Niño: A Preview of Global Warming? I have read through NOAA, and read a half dozen articles. This pretty much sums up what everything has said. I am wondering if a rhumb line might help during an El Nino year? I am wondering how big these holes can be, and how light the air?........ i2f
