Dear Boater,
Welcome
back to the boating season at Bonnet Shores.
Please take note of some changes regarding your mooring.
There are over 100 people waiting for a mooring,
therefore those of you who have a mooring must meet all of the
Bonnet Shores requirements or your mooring application will not
be accepted.
These requirements are listed on the two-part application
form. A float of 18
inches including name and number, must be clearly visible in
large print. All
work and payment for moorings are due by June 30.
If you need the names of a mooring company, please call
me. If you plan to
do the work yourself adhere to the rules.
Enclosed
is an update on some new rules and regulations that were
passed by the board at the September 2006 meeting.
Please read them and furnish
a copy of your boat registration proving that the boat that is
on the mooring matches with the name and owner of the mooring.
No other boat will be allowed to use that mooring
except that which is defined in the new regulations.
Enclosed is a copy of the rule.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call so
that we can address them before the start of next years
boating season.
Rate
for all boats is $90.00 regardless of size.
My
phone number 401-230-4813.
Send check (no cash) payable to Bonnet Shores Fire
District c/o Mike Tortolani, 7 Aroostook Trail, Narragansett R.
I. 02882.
Also,
our harbor and beach have increasing demands so limit your dock
time to 15 minutes, or your boat may be towed at owner’s
expense. Do not leave trailers on beach.
If
you were born after January 1, 1986, and you will be operating a
vessel with a motor larger than 10-horse power, then you must be
certified.
If
you will be operating a personal watercraft (jet ski, waverunner),
regardless of your age, you must be certified.
