| For your information last Sunday the patrol came in because of a complaint and required the 40 or so windsurfers there (all Canadians) to leave the spot immediately. 2 people got a 156 $ fine.
The fishing & hunting water priviliged acces does not officially permit sailboarding since 2005 so thats it, permanently closed.
From my understanding there was a complaint by a boater one week ago concerning dificult access. From what I saw last Sunday the complaint that day came from the person responsble for the grass cutting. By the time the patrol came in there was not a single boater on site but all 40 windsurfers had to leave...no tolerance. The managing patroler was just short of being a real asshole, the 2 standard patrolman where OK.
I asked if there was an issue with garbage or whatever....no !
I will say from a Canadian point of view that altough totally in their right this was complete administrative bullshit as there was not areal problem ( a warden told me so) just total intolerance to Canadians and a real power trip by the warden.
May Vermonters live long and propsper...and by themselves...I aint going back.

ReplyDeleteThose Canadian windsurfers are like a flock.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun would it be if you couldn't show off.
They should not have been kick out reguardless.
Game warden have more power than the police or sherrif, i think.
At least Canadians still windsurf. The non-Canadian turn out is pretty f'in sad. I'd rather sail with Canadians then alone. It stinks they got thrown out of Tabor Point, as a VT taxpayer, I'm pretty ticked off.
