25' + (Dive 60') +25' = 110' total
25' + (8.5' boat) + 25' + (8.5' boat) + 25' for s total of 92'
So there is really only 18' linear difference.... so to be fair lets say it takes up 2.5 smaller boats worth of space... or 2 large cabin cruisers!
In places like Braun Bay & West Alton, its entirely possible for them to anchor outside the no rafting zone.
In places like the Margate sandbar.... it is not a NRZ.

Clearly you dont anchor at West Alton or Paugas bay on the weekend, boats are stuffed in like people on the "T"
If someone cannonballs into the water every boat bobs from the splash ;-)
My math may be wrong, but 2.5 boats, no chance,,,
LOVE this picture of the DIVE at Braun, fits rignt in at Braun, clearly a mistake to park it at West Alton or Paugas.
