Obviously any law can be challenged and the rule could be challenged as well, saying it has no underlying law to support it. But wouldn't it be cleaner to change the law using the normal legislative process? Boaters seem to have voice in Concord.
It would be great if some sort of grand compromise could be hashed out that addresses the rights of shore front landowners and boaters. Something addressing rafting, and overnight anchoring, with the restrictions based on the actual safety and nuisance issues, rather than painting everybody with a broad brush.
This was rafting a Braun Bay before the law, it doesn't look all that scary...
