Posted by Lizard Elizabeth Chrissian I am familiar with HB 7175 which was written up in Clean Marina, Skipper Bob's webwsite it deals with derelict vessels but also has a component which makes it legal for any "extended cruiser" to anchor anywhere for any length of time regardless of what time limit laws a municipality in Florida has enacted. It does not extend to full time liveaboards and does not allow for permanent residency on anchor in home ports. However it does allow for certain protections for the cruiser just passing through to stay almost indefinately in an area with out being run off. It will be interesting to see, as law enforcement becomes aware of this State Statute, how it will be implemented. By the way Greg from now on I intend to post with all my information as there is some confusion regarding some matters. I'm darned tired of being publicly harangued and private derided. I can not speak for any one but myself and am breaking a long silence on the subject which I posted following Capt. Marti's post. I think that if anyone wants to know what is really going on that they should call me and I will be more than happy to review names dates and give the phone numbers of people who have first hand knowledge because they have seen with their own two eyes and heard with their own two ears the problems which Mr. Boyle and Company have added to our already full plate.....Nough said it's the first and last time I will speak on the matter. When I post as Lizard I post with my email address. I have read posts by the other Lizard and would welcome a dialogue with that person. Do you know his email address or identity. If so pass along my name and phone number. Thanks. Lizard --Previous Message--
