I cannot say when after the mid 70`s this bylaw/rule came into force, but during my time afloat 1958/mid 70`s there was, as far as i was aware, no such rule. At that time there was as far as I remember no 2/14 day moorings as long as you didn`t moor up in places to cause problems, no one seemed to mind. I suppose there were a lot fewer boats in those days, so bigger demand = more rules, more rule benders/breakers = even more rules, Shame it seems to raise peoples stress levels rather than lowering them.
