Just got back from the Brevard County Commish Meeting

The proposal to investigate registration fees for non-motorized vessels was dropped. Thats one battle won.

I also learned a bit more. There were 13 counties in Florida that were looking into this issue. The 13 counties are part of the Manatee Protection Program, mainly because they have a significant amount of waterfront areas.

The counties are looking into proposals that will essentially be sending a message of support or not to the state legislature.

Next year most likely, the Powerboat Groups will bring this up at the state level. The more counties that do not support it, the better chance that it will not be passed in the state legislature.

So Brevard County said no. I hope some of you that live in the other counties will get involved and speak up for catsailors in your area.

I also heard that some states are looking at repealing there registration requirement (Arizona may already have??)
