FREE Jan 6th Webinar on Florida Anchoring

[SV THIRD DAY]

Care about Anchoring Rights in Florida, and coming soon to an anchorage near you?

Then watch this FREE Webinar on January 6th put on by the SSCA.
In my opinion the price of SSCA membership each year is worth it just for this Anchoring Rights issue alone! Phil Johnson does amazing work.

A Florida Anchoring Update

Duration: 1.5 Hours
Date: Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at 8:00 pm U.S. EST
Presenter: Phil Johnson
Course Fee: Free - SSCA Members / Free - Non-Members
Webinar - Join us live!
Whether you reside in Florida, pass through Florida on your boat or you are just concerned about boaters rights in general, you will not want to miss this presentation. Florida has some real issues with abandoned boats, but that issue should be confused with anchoring regulations.

Phil is the chair of the Seven Seas Cruising Association's Concerned Cruisers Committee and he will update you on the very latest attempts for local Florida communities to restrict your ability to drop the hook in a safe anchorage. Everyone needs to be informed and involved to ensure our anchoring rights are preserved.

After attending this presentation you will:

• Understand why this issue is important to SSCA members and all boaters
• Understand the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) plans
• Understand why it is so important to keep anchoring regulations at the state level
• Hear the results of the August-September Anchoring Survey and their implications

Phil originally presented this information at the Annapolis Gam in September and now this is a chance to bring this information to all the membership.

Phil plans to bring an update to Seven Seas U and any call to action based on the latest Florida Anchoring Survey when the results are published later in 2015.

The live webinar will last approximately 90 minutes. You will need Internet access to participate in this live session

Actual fact-based information, instead of half-baked opinions?

Say it ain't so.

Bump....

I'm signed up. Probably worth a look if you will be cruising through Florida waters this year.

Anyone attend this? Highlights?

[RTB]

I did, but really didn't learn anything new. No doubt that SSCA does a great job representing our cruising/boating community, along with Boat US, and several other marine related organizations. I think you can go on and see a recording of the webinar if you wish.
