Locating Special Anchorages- HELP

LaRea

It just has to be displayed up high.  I'll probably tie it to an antenna mast.  I doubt I'll use it often ... usually the places I anchor are pretty secluded, and I'm on good terms with the local Marine Patrol (awesome guys).

Handy, in FL your required to drink while driving....otherwise the other idiots will drive you crazy.

They can be pretty tough, especially on holidays when they want to come aboard to do "safety  inspections" ie looking at your eyes for being drunk. I don't put mine in the water for memorial day or labor day- plus to many out there driving drunk. I take it easy until I'm docked for the night and then....

Well I unexpectedly become really busy at work which has taken all of my attention recently however I have had the opportunity to catch back up to this thread.  You guys are amazing and so full of information.

LaRea,  I took your suggestion and picked up one of these fold flat anchor balls.  If i am outside of the designated anchorage I will be sure to fly this ball as to keep with local codes.

I plan to meet with the CG next week for a safety inspection ( my choice), and I will get clarification on these rules for the federal waters in Ohio.

I am not sure if Ohio has a booklet like PA does, but if they do, check and make sure there aren't any state laws that the CG doesn't have. Most states have the same laws as the CG, but there sometimes are quirky laws specific to each state that isn't covered by the feds.
