Not so a no-no. You block, you get moved. Period. Resident or not. Were you in the way of the launch area?

We are residents and launched and pulled ourselves for years and were annoyed with non-residents taking up the launch and general resident spaces to dine. We pay taxes for the privilege. Non-Gilford residents do not. The restaurant should insist its patrons park on the multiple “Island only” resident docks. The Island spots are mostly empty days and evenings.

Bottom line - you get moved if you block launch areas.
