Subject: Please Stop the boats with BOW PULPITS and ANCHORS from BLOCKING the Docks !!
Hi Gary,
You and I had discussed this issue on the phone about a week ago, and it is still going on. See the ATTACHED photos, I just took those pictures on Saturday.
These boats are docking Bow in, and they are docking with the ENTIRE bow pulpit and anchor over the ENTIRE width of the docks !!!
The new docks you installed are only 4 feet wide, and these boats are docking in a way that is not only Inconsiderate, but also very DANGEROUS ! Walking down the narrrow docks and carrying bags, coolers, cell phones, food, etc., is challenging enough, but to add an obstacle course caused by bow pulpits and anchors makes it Very dangerous !
It is very inconsiderate, and highly annoying, for these boaters to literally block the entire width of the docs with their bow pulpits, and I have had to loosen THEIR own spring lines and bow lines to move their boats backwards on multiple occassions, and we shouldn't have to do that.
I would sincerely appreciate it if you could implement and Enforce a rule whereby boats that dock bow in with Bow Pulpits and anchors are told to make sure that they do not BLOCK Any Part of the width of the dock. It is just common courtesy and common sense, not to mention that it creates a serious safety hazard and can result in someone falling off the docks while carrying bags, coolers, small children, causing possible severe injury, drowning, etc.
Thank you very much for your consideration in addressing this matter as soon as possible. Thank you.
