Yes there are "Private Property" Signs there. It is after all a "private club"
Since our membership pays dues and fees to belong shouldn't they expect soem "private" privliges that the general public does not get.
Somehow I don't think that "Public welcome" signs will do the trick.
as for the break wall, there are absolutely no "Keep out" signs anywhere. only "no wake" signs.
If you and your friends would like to raft inside our club, come on over. However since you would then be in violation of the 150 ft from property rule, we would have to call the marine patrol (who by the way is who you should call if you have a "problem" with rafters in front of your property.
Speaking of your property, how do you know all those rafting boats are from Spinnaker?
I have a big 'ol cabin cruiser and I have never even heard of East Cove let alone been raftinf there.
Just because you have to dish out a small fortune for the taxes on your lakefront property does not mean you control what you have to look at out your front window.
This petition is just another attempt by the well funded landowners to take total control of the lake.
I will be at the hearing as well.

Dave,
I never said that all those rafting boats were from Spinnaker. I said they were from "yacht clubs" - not one in particular, which I think is a valid statement. Of course I was being facicious when I suggested that we set up rafting inside the yacht clubs. I was trying to make the point that the argument can work in many ways. The other point is that a no-rafting policy does not close down the cove. It just limits the amount of boats that can tie together while at anchor, and also the spacing between boats that are anchored. Why is that such a big problem?
