We are residents and launched and pulled ourselves for years and were annoyed with non-residents taking up the launch and general resident spaces to dine. We pay taxes for the privilege. Non-Gilford residents do not. The restaurant should insist its patrons park on the multiple “Island only” resident docks. The Island spots are mostly empty days and evenings.

Bottom line - you get moved if you block launch areas.
It's been a big concern with Gilford residents who own boats. We pay taxes and we should be allowed to share the island residents' docks when they are not used. You are right, they are underutilized. The late John Goodhue was a big voice in preventing Gilford non-islanders' use of the docks. Now that he is gone maybe we should have a say.

It was the islanders who wanted the Northern end of the docks as drop-in or off only area. They should move that to one of the islanders' dock so that more people can have access to the Northern dock.
