There's been a concerted effort for years to eliminate anchoring in the Ortega River. First step was to place channel markers in the first section between the bridges, making the channel 4 times wider than it needs to be, particularly since there is no commercial traffic. Now they want to eliminate anchoring beyond the railroad bridge, an area that only has a couple of marinas/boatyards and one dry storage, the rest residential. There is plenty of room in this area to anchor, but apparently there are folks there who don't want anchoring in their backyard and apparently have to pull to make it happen. I don't know if it is the residential folks or the marinas, maybe both. I'd like to know when the state is going to say enough is enough? *Rudy & Jill Sechez * *BRINEY BUG-a 34' Sail-Assisted Trawler * *Anchoring Consultants @ trawlertrainingabc.com <http://trawlertrainingabc.com> * *850-832-7748 *

When the re-election contributions stop. Anyone who believes this anchoring crap is for the benefit of anything other than moneyed waterfront folk is deluded. If the legislators cared about the environment, they'd clamp down on municipal treatment plants and their industrial benefactors. It's pay to play in-your-face bold and unashamed. Disgusting. Politicians. ------- Steve Sipe Solo 4303 /Maerin/ On 1/12/2020 7:12 AM, Rudy Sechez via Trawlers-and-Trawlering wrote: > There's been a concerted effort for years to eliminate anchoring in the > Ortega River.
