SeaPlane Access

A Seaplane can quite comfortably nose up to a beach and toss out an anchor on the beach. Center Harbor has a suitable beach. However, if the area is a roped in swim area ..or even near one, this might be another problem. I think swim beaches may be restricted to Non Powered vessels only, even though a small Seaplane might be an acceptable exception. Just too many rules to deal with.

I find it comical that they actually had to put an exemption into the speed limit law to allow them to take off. Um -

-DUH?

Actually that is not correct. Seaplanes (and helicopters) have been exempt from boating regulations under this particular RSA since the early 90s....well before the current law on speed was enacted.
