I have no first hand experience!
My post was just pointing out how ridiculous that particular argument is. (IMO) If you choose to throw "Its a safety issue" at the wall to see if it sticks, so be it; Just be prepared for other to dispute it.
If public safety is an issue with the private marina (as implied) and they can not operate SAFELY within their property, than it is an OSHA issue
not a WOW trail issue.

It is basically the same as the "out of town driver" problem in busy city[/b]

Choose your battles wisely is what I was taught.

You hit the nail on the head.
Sarcasm does not always come across in the written word the way you envision it in your head.
Thank you
