You mean those that don't want large parties 10 feet off their stern, smelling what they are cooking on the grill, listening to their obnoxious conversations.

So equally so, when they decide to eat, no problem if the dockominium owner decides to idle their engines and while trying to diagnose that "noise" they heard, put on some inspiring opera music, all the while a crew member prepares the chum for tomorrow's fishing trip.

So because they decide to put in a party deck, everyone here should just butt slap and high five and agree that it is a great idea with no discenting opinions?

WTF did that come from? That's boating I would love to have that at the end of of our dock.

Maybe to you, but to me, boating is that boating. You know actually USING the bopat for a purpose, whether it be fishing, diving, or an anchorage by ourselves our with invited/mutual friends.

Boating to me is not having a floating party deck aft of my dockaminium to disturb my space - you knowm, while diagnosing engine noise, listening to opera and preparing chum.

That's one of the beauties of boating, some people like to travel, some like to anchor out, some like to stay at their home marina. I happen to enjoy my time at the dock with my dockmates as much as I enjoy taking the boat on vacation and meeting new people and seeing new places.

To each his own, if you don't like the way a marina is set up, then go somewhere else.
 
My slip neighbors and I often talk about building a floating deck at our marina to socialize on. Problem is, we don't own the marina, it's a commercial enterprise. They have a couple small areas to socialize but we would rather be near our boats. We do the best we can.

what appens when the sport fish come past and throw a wake?
 
One more reason I'd rather hang with Gary and NOT with In-The-Know.
 
So Gary, what would have happened if you had a ITK in your marina? Would you have proceeded with the deck due to a majority vote and moved him as far away from it as possible?
 
Bruce, We are on a bay with a 6 knot no wake rule and the only sportfisher is on this dock.

Phil, This is a very unique Dockominium situation here as we actually own the land under water and each slip
has a deed to the bottom under his slip 16 feet by 48 feet. The condominium Corp. owns the docks an land under the docks.

Our declaration says 86% vote is a go for a major change so if someone was disgruntled about it they have several choices.

1. Sell the slip and try to buy one further away from the deck,,,,but we are sold out so not much chance there.
2. Call the marine police and complain,,,,but the head of the marine police has a slip very close to the party deck and was
a big supporter.
3. Sue the corporation,,,,but we are totally within the bounds of the Declaration and they would have to see Judge Tom XXXXX in
slip 14.
4. Be very obnoxious and a pain in the a$$,,,,but that might upset the full patch member of the Toronto Hell's Angels MC in a slip
pretty close to our Harbour Police guy's slip
5. Live with it.

As you can see we have a pretty eclectic group here. And we are friends 'cause what happens on the docks, stays on the docks.
 
Like I said, if that thing was built near my dockaminium, I would be the biggest most obnoxious pain in the ass to anyone and everyone using it.

Then again, this is why I don't own a condo, dont belong to a yacht club, and do not stay at a marina that requires more than a one year lease.
 
ITK,

I have a feeling if you did act like that with a Hell's Angel on the dock you run away like a little girl.

You obviously do not know me at all
 
"One more reason I'd rather hang with Gary and NOT with In-The-Know."

How could you say that? ITK I would bet is a blast. He is a boaters boater. Boating is in his blood. Who wants to be a dock marry? Put the hours on those motors and keep em running
 
ITK,

I have been reading your posts for quite a long time and never have said anything, from them I know I would never want to know you AT ALL.

And that does not surprise me.
 
If the boaters were planning on hanging out on the dock and having a good time, I seriously doubt they would invite ITK.
Hence; ITK response would be "I would be the biggest most obnoxious pain in the ass to anyone and everyone using it." Many boaters like to spend time off their boats with others boaters. Boating is more than going out and trying to catch a fish.

Your loss. Might I suggest that you stop reading my posts then, will help you get over your infatuation with me.
 
Gary his party deck to share with everyone on BE. You can love it, like it or hate it but to turn it into an argument and personal attacks is uncalled for and childish. You guys are sounding like second graders............grow up already!

Good for them, that is not me nor my style.

A slip to me is nothing more than a parking spot. It is not a social gathering. I show up, I use my boat, I clean my boat, I go home.

Or, I show up, do maintenance, then use my boat, then clean the boat, then go home.

If you have a question, ask me and I will answer it. Otherwise, I do not care to socialize with you, nor get to know you. Don't bother me, and I wont bother you.

To that end, like I stated earlier, if I bought a dockaminium that had no party deck aft of my slip, and then one was built (even within the majority vote), yes I woulkd have a problem with it, and yes, I would within my association rights make sure their space was equally as infringed upon as mine.

Maybe having a group of people aft of your boat, cooking, drinking and partying is your style, but it certainly isnt mine.

Sure, just don't be one minute late when he invites you out on his boat or you'll miss all the fun.

As a person that used to deliver passengers for a living, I am sure BC knows a thing or two about being on time.

I could be wrong, but I believe he has a similar rule about being on time.
 
When you are early you are ontime, when you are ontime you are late, when you are late, you are left at the dock
