Fish Nassau Bay? New Nassau Bay rafting and anchoring ordinance
New Nassau Bay rafting and anchoring ordinance:
Nassau Bay City Council on Monday voted unanimously to approve an amendment to the waterways ordinance, adding a new section entitled "Rafting, Linking or Joining of Watercraft", prohibiting a vessel or watercraft from rafting or linking together in numbers greater than six anywhere within the territorial limits of the city, and prohibiting rafted vessels from being less than 300 feet from land or less than 100 feet from other vessels rafted together.
The Nassau Bay police are handing out copies of this ordinance to anyone anchored in Nassau Bay, and have asked several single (non-rafted) boats to pull their anchor and move toward the middle of the bay. Just a heads up for anyone who goes back there.
