Every marina has it's own rules. My dock, everyone has their own garden hose hook-up and a place for the hose. Makes it nice to keep the spiders washed off somewhat.

Lots of marinas don't allow you to wash your boat using their water - it a water conservation issue

Here in the Mugla district of Turkey it is okay to use water to wash your boat but you cannot use cleaners of any kind. Water is sold by the ton and costs roughly $3 per 1,000 liters (approx 250 gallons). Yet some sailors are so darn cheap they are washing dishes and laundry in the marina restroom sinks.

As for the original posting regarding slapping halyards, my husband once could no longer stand the slapping halyard on a charter boat docked near us. He went over to them and said, "Here. Let me fix that for you."

What an a-hole! he should have loosened your our halyard up some to get a band going. Tossed some food into the air to get the gulls to sing! Hoisted up the ships bell to the top of the mast.
