  2. Mast up parking:a. trailered boats should park in the areas designated for this purpose onlyb. boats should be tied to their trailers so the wind will not blow them over
  3. “PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT”.Everyone is responsible for their own garbage removal. Do not “overload” the garbage area. A receptacle for used oil is available in the garbage area.
