Several members of this group have complained in the past of the increasing
restrictions imposed on livaboards, especially in the better places like
Florida.
One the one hand, I don't boat in these regions .. so I guess it is none of
my business.
On the other hand, I see the irony of 'others' wanting to buy up property
and exclude the very people who helped make the spot desireable in the first
place (the boaters).
The magazine 'Lats & Atts' recently had a short notice that will appeal to
any of you who want to do more than just complain.
"If you want to take an active role in changing things, Boat U.S. has put
together a Grassroots Lobbying Tool Kit". It can be found at:
