When did I say that you shouldn't be able to have a dock, mooring, raft, boat lift, or swim line? (I don't know what you mean by beaching a houseboat, but have at it, if you like. Just mind the rocks!
)
If you can get the permits, of course you should be able to have those things. (An island property would be kind'o useless without a dock, wouldn't it?)
But, if I drop anchor
in a reasonable location to take a break, or a swim, or have a bite of lunch - don't be trying to shoo me away. I willingly concede you your rights, as I said above, but I insist on my rights as well.
(Sorry, Sschaar - I'm very, very stubborn on this subject and silence is the next thing to agreement!)
And, by the way, this is not about Timber Island. I've never even anchored there!
