It still comes down to a power grab by the city. They simply do not have legal jurisdiction, so far as I'm aware. It's akin to the city requiring cars to apply for a sticker to park anywhere in the city - an illegal tax, though they're welcome to place parking meters on streets where there's a legal justification.

I had not heard they were requiring all boats coming in to anchor there to apply for (and pay for) the right to anchor, only those who stayed beyond 14 days. Can anyone confirm the details of the current program?
