Difficult Issue

It would seem that instead of starting anew that the relationship of moorings to campgrounds might be examined in more depth by Catalina and your survey.

One of the depressing things about so much legislation is that the authors tend to completely forget about WHAT DOES WORK and start all over again, repeating the mistakes and completely ignoring the successes.

It would be worthwhile if any of us have any camping experiences, for instance, where these things do work, and add them here.

The one comparison was separate anchorages. I would guess that some loud mouths would object to, say Avalon, being chosen as a quiet cove. Some wouldn't like to be "differentiated" and told go go elsewhere. Every choice has its consequences.

We have a neighbor who had a barking dog. Dog only barked when the neighbors were at work. They couldn't see our problem and our point maybe doing something about it; the trigger was another dog walking along the street. See the dynamics here? Had? Dog finally died, much quieter now, but 8 years of really unpleasant mornings and evenings out on our OWN deck.

There was a recent obituary for "Common Sense." And then there's the old: if it was so common...

Stupid is a condition.

Ignorance is a choice.

Why Stop at Those Making Noise?

Let's restrict those who talk funny or look different too.

If you don't like the noises from crowded places go somwhere that is not crowded. Seems pretty simple to me.

It isn't the noise from the crowded places.... it is the noise from the rude people who see fit to run their generator all night long. Are you saying that it would be okay for someone to run you out of an anchorage that you had arrived at first?

Exactly; Be Careful What You Wish For

There are property owners here who believe anchoring in front of their window is spoiling their view and therefore they want to prohibit anchoring.

Anymore than one is a crowd

Where would it stop?

Maybe we could keep the cars off the roads near my house and the airplanes out of the sky above because they disturb my sense of peace and tranquility. ;)

there are many quiet anchorages in catalina--there little harbor and shark cove near cat harbor----there are many many places to anchor and be away from the laws governing generators and noise levels.....btw--if it wasnt gennies, it would be loud music....or barking doggies.....or crying babies-----catalina island IS part of lost angeles county, after all.........
