T&T: anchoring vs existing mooring

[JHWardJr at aol.com]

No, it isn't.  It's like parking in front of someone's house on the  
street.  You own the driveway, not the street.  

Let me preface by saying that I do not think I have ever used an  existing 
mooring unless I knew the condition/owner/etc.  If it is permitted  and has 
rental/permit fees associated with it - so mark it and I would consider  it 
off limits w/o prior permission.  If you want to be nice, put a contact  
phone number on it, grant permission, and 'pay it forward'.  But if it  isn't 
so marked, I would say it's fair game and anybody can use it at  equipment 
(not legal) peril.  I do not think one can commandeer open water  (usually a 
primo location) and assert 'squatters rights'.  My $.02

Not a  pleasant situation, as someone said, it's like
parking in someone else's  driveway.
