    I don't know if they can or can not, but I know at least one person is going
    to sue the city here in Punta Gorda, FL. A couple of shrimpers and a few
    other boaters were trying to secure their boats last Friday morning when
    Gabrielle paid a visit. Well the Fire Chief saw these guys jumping from the
    boat to boat and dock to boat, ect and decided it wasn't safe. He called
    the police to have these guys leave or be arrested ! ! ! The score was
    three boats sank, several damaged at the city marina. There's a whole bunch
    of unhappy campers. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

    Fair Winds !

    Stefan,

    I believe this was outlawed in Florida a couple of seasons ago. Do not
    have the references at hand, but it is my belief they cannot do this
    anymore (at least in Florida). Anyone having better info re: other states
    policies could jump in here. :)

    Fair Winds,

    Tom
