Half way down the lake where I sail is a nice, little summer village - "Ghost Village ". The village is set in a fairly good sized bay with a small rock in the middle of the bay. It's just below water level.
For years the village has put an orange buoy on the rock every spring to warn boaters - nice, neighbourly gesture! About 3 years ago a lawyer bought a property in the village. Next spring they are putting the buoy on the rock, so the lawyer starts telling them about liability and stuff. He persuades the village it's in their own interest not to put out the buoy. There hasn't been one marking the rock for 3 years now. sam :-) Original Message From: Lee Youngblood Sent: Tuesday, April 1, 2014 9:53 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Reply To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List importing boats/lawyers - argh! With all the discussion about importing boats into Canada, I wondered if our friend to the North hadn't imported way too many of our lousy lawyers. Yes, we want the lawyers to go away, but not like this! Too many things are marked "Not for Navigational Use", and now Canada has this "Waiver of Responsibility" Notice to Mariners / Special Notice to Mariners Notice of updates to charts and other publications <https://www.notmar.gc.ca/go.php?doc=eng/index>https://www.notmar.gc.ca/go.php?doc=eng/index Can't we send this type of lawyer and their ilk to Somalia! Yuck! -- _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
