> Do any others have this restriction? Most if not all marinas in the PNW forbid cleaning ablative paint. “If it leaves a cloud it cannot be cleaned.” Shilshole Bay Marina has a “best practices” type document moorage customers need to sign. The use of cleaning products that leave bubbles is discouraged. I have been given the evil eye (from the dock’s soap bubble nazi) for using a weak solution of water and Simple Green. One Lake Union / Ship Canal boatyard owner stated “if I pull a bucket of lake water out I cannot poor it back in as it would not pass the test.”
The State of Washington is considering additional legislation, both aquatic land use and grey/black water discharge that may impact recreational boaters. While I fully support the effort to restore and protect the Salish Sea waters (have been a volunteer business community rep to the Partnership for Puget Sound in the past), many over-enthusiastic legislators and advocates discount the effect of storm water runoff and sewage overflow (millions of gallons) and target the poorly represented recreational and commercial marine activities. Fortunately many of the region’s yacht clubs and marine trade associations have been pushing back. If we are lucky more rational and balanced legislation will move forward that includes increased efforts to prevent land based pollution from overwhelming the near shore waters.

Do any others have this restriction? Tim Branford, CT
