RULES
AND REGULATIONS FOR
BOAT DOCK USE
Revised February 10, 2005
|
|
|
| 1. |
Boat
dock slips must be reserved for the desired period via the Tamarind
Website at tamarindnews.com.
(See Addendum Attached)
|
| 2. |
Tamarind
is NOT responsible for and does not provide insurance for marine
related accidents or for damage or loss to your vessel. Exercise
caution when you are on or near the docks. Practice good boating
safety and courtesy. Pass items; reach for them after you are
in the boat.
|
| 3. |
Children
under 12 years of age must be accompanied by an adult at least
18 years of age when on the boat docks. Playing or running on
or swimming from the docks is strictly prohibited.
|
| 4. |
The
use of a dock for commercial ventures is strictly prohibited.
No signs of any kind are to be attached to any vessel, while
docked, example; For Sale, Charter, etc. Coast Guard signage
is permitted while docked if on Bravo 0 standby alert.
|
| 5. |
The
alteration of or the attachment of any device to any dock is
prohibited without the prior consent of the Association management.
|
| 6. |
The
safety of your boat and the protection of the docks from damage
caused by your boat is your responsibility. The cost to repair
damage incurred to the docks by your boat shall be chargeable
to the vessel owner. It is recommended that all boats should
be removed from the docks when hurricanes or tropical storm
force winds are forecasted
|
| 7. |
Spring
lines - forward to stern dock area cleat or piling, and aft
to forward dock area cleat or piling - are to be used to prevent
forward and backward motion of your boat. As these lines extend
crisscross the length of your boat, they ride with tidal change.
Bow and stern lines (laterally secured) prevent sideways outward
drift of your boat. Because these lines are short and direct,
they should be slack to allow for tidal change. Fenders on the
dockside of your boat prevent damage due to contact with the
dock. Do not secure a boat with taut lines except for the longitudinal
spring lines, as this will either pull the cleats out of your
boat or the dock at low tide.
|
| 8. |
Nothing
is ever to be left on the docks or dock railings - especially
fishing hooks.
|
| 9. |
Weather
protect your boat. A common resort marine problem is sunken
boats after a heavy rain.
|
| 10. |
Live
bait in floating bait buckets will last about two days. After
that, sea growth takes
over and bait buckets should be withdrawn and cleaned.
|
| 11. |
No
cooking is to take place on the docks or in boats that are docked.
The use of a vessel as a dwelling while docked is strictly prohibited.
|
| 12. |
Nothing
is ever to be dumped overboard - garbage, food containers, paper,
fuel or oil, sanitary waste, etc. There are heavy fines for
this, and Tamarind will aid in the prosecution of violators.
|
| 13. |
Spearing
or “gigging” fish off the docks is not permitted.
|
| 14. |
Florida
has various seasonal protection laws for species of saltwater
as well as freshwater fish. Awareness of these and appropriate
compliance is your responsibility.
|
| 15. |
Fresh
water and power are provided for occasional, appropriate use
by boaters and fishermen. A fish-cleaning table is located at
the south end of the docks. Please remove all waste and garbage.
Waste residue attracts bugs and animals, leaves an odor and
is unsightly.
|
| 16. |
The
water between the docks and the Intercoastal Waterway is not
channeled. Rather, it is environmentally protected. Local knowledge
of the waters and tide level is required to negotiate in these
waters.
|
| 17. |
Florida
law requires all boats equipped with any kind of motor power
to be registered and tagged. Coast Guard law requires personal
floatation devices (PFD’s) or life preservers that are
labeled “Coast Guard Approved” for each person aboard
and an anchor. Also, depending on boat length, fire extinguishers,
horns and other safety and sanitary equipment are required.
|
| 18. |
Boats
may not be operated at night or after sunset without legally
prescribed lights.
|
| 19. |
The
Intercoastal Waterway is a federally maintained waterway and
is used by large vessels and barges as well as pleasure craft
of all sizes. It is marked by the Coast Guard and patrolled
by the Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary and local police
marine patrols. Observe rules-of-the-road, safety and courtesy.
Water skiing, diving and fishing in the channel is not allowed.
Small boats should be particularly wary of the bow waves of
large vessels and barges. Wave action swamping, capsizing
and man overboard cause the largest number of all boat accidents.
|
| 20. |
The
knowledge of and adherence to all boating and marine life laws,
rules and regulations is the responsibility of the boat owner.
|
| 21. |
The
“Rules and Regulations For Boat Dock Use” is an
addendum to and a part of the “Rules And Regulations of
Tamarind Gulf And Bay Condominiums“. Failure to abide
by these rules shall result in fines and penalties as structured
in the parent “Rules and Regulations. The means of enforcement
of the Rules and Regulations of an Association are provided
for in Florida Statute 718.112.
