I believe unattended boats should be allowed for. A boat should have the right to exist at anchor whether someone is aboard or not.
The courts have ruled consistently that it is not allowed to run the "undesirables" out of town, forcing them to go elsewhere. I think that should apply to everyone, livaboards, full-time cruisers and simply anchored boats. One giant problem is Condo developers buying up all the marinas, as in Sarasota, throwing all the tenants out, building condos on the shore adjacent to the former marina, then selling condos and dock spaces together. The boats that were ejected from the marina must go to anchor. There must be a place for them If there are specific issues, such as the potty problem then these issues can be addressed as they have been with great sucess in Marathon. Composting toilets and treatment devices such as the LectraSan have shown themselves to be far less polluting that shoreside facilities over and over. My basic outlook is that *everyone* should have a place to go where they will be safe and free from persecution.
