Default Rafting rules

If gas prices spike again, it is time to revisit the issue of rafting. Too many new no-rafting areas have been designated in the past decade, squeezing those who wish to anchor for the day into fewer locations. It has come to the point that even if you are boating alone - not trying to raft with friends - there are just too many boats in your favorite coves to anchor legally. One way to address the problem would be to retroactively change the no-rafting designation to a permit process. If the permit was good for 5 or 10 years, it would force a renewal process to retain the special privilege. The number of no-rafting areas is out of control and we need a way to regain weekend access rights to some of the best parts of the lake - so boat owners can save gas.
