I would like to add my 2 cents to this. Maybe I'm wrong but I feel that the
FWC has entirely too much power in Florida. I think they are mostly a bunch
of arrogant asses. Admittedly the only experiences that I have had with them
were bad. Starting with the Venice officer who welcomed me to Florida with a
chewing out for not having my documented boat state registered, to the one
that gave me a ticket for making a wake under a 65' fixed bridge in the middle
of nowhere to the one that I encountered in a parking lot and greeted with
"Hello Mr. Game Warden". That got me a 30 minute ass chewing and the threat of a
ticket.
The Florida DEP is charged with there care of the environment. Is not the
purpose of anchoring and mooring regulations to protect the environment? Who
better to administer these rules?
Put the FWC back to protecting the fish and wildlife and let the FEP (alone)
handle the environment.

Florida DEP (Department of Environmental Protections) May Be Interfering in
Orderly Process To Create Fair, Uniform Florida Statewide Anchorage
Regulations
Call to Action for the Cruising Community!!!!
Hello Fellow Cruisers:
We have just put up a VERY IMPORTANT posting on all the various Floridian
pages of the Salty Southeast Cruisers' Net concerning a new and potentially
worrisome development in the Florida Anchoring rights issue, about which many
members of the cruising community care passionately. If you even have the
thought of EVER trying to anchor in the waters of the Sunshine State, let me
strongly urge you to check out this new data without delay. And, I might add, this
posting unusually contains rather lengthy editorial comments by yours truly.
The issue is too complex to discuss within this e-mail. Please follow the
instructions below and take a few minutes to completely familiarize yourself
with this new development. And, if you happen to agree with this writer's point
of view, may I be so bold as to suggest you take action immediately!!!!
One other point - this new issue has the potential to affect far more
cruisers than the Marco Island Anchorage Controversy. In the present instance, we
are dealing with state of Florida agencies, and the Florida legislature!
To check out the full story, go to http://www.CruisersNet.net, and then
peruse the navigational buttons along the left side of our home page. Locate the
"Cruising News From" section, and then click either the "Eastern Florida,"
"Florida Keys" or "Western Florida" buttons/links. For the moment, the
Anchoring Rights article in question lies at the top of all three pages, though that
will change as new info is received.
That's all for now. Good luck and good cruising to all!
