| Nanaimo Anchoring Fees!
The Nananimo Port Authority is now taking applications for permission to anchor there , at a dollar a foot. At the moment it is only for stays of over 14 days, initially , but if unchallenged ,will soon apply to any anchoriing , setting a precedent for the rest of the BC coast. They are stating that they will invite themselves aboard any time they please, to check for compliance with holding tank laws, in violation of section 220 of the Canada shipping act and the Charter of rights. They are currently cruising the anchorage thru the day with clipboards , taking notes, making the people anchored there feel like they are under constant surveillance. A friend told me that the visitors dock , usually crammed with visiting boats, this time of year, is virtually empty. I wonder of the merchants, who make $millions per year off visiting boats, are getting a little upset yet. Keep up the boycott, and save freedom to cruise in BC waters. Brent
