Not accurate. There is a 4-hour docking limit by ordinance for “watercraft” at Union Wharf. That is all setting aside whether a seaplane is considered a “boat” for purposes of the town ordinance. While a seaplane may be considered a watercraft or boat for purposes of state or federal laws and regulations, that does not mean that a seaplane is considered a boat or watercraft for purposes of the town ordinance, which is silent on the issue. So, at best, the answer is that no seaplane could dock at Union Wharf for more than 4 hours, and it is a bit uncertain whether seaplanes were intended to be permitted to dock at Union Wharf at all as the ordinance is currently written.

Also, Epic, from your first post on the forum:

So which is it, Epic? Is it your position that seaplanes can be left unattended on the wharf for hours, blocking access to the fire boat, or not?
