I don't go there anymore. it used to be pretty decent. I saw a man drop his drawers and fecate at 2pm. disgusting. too bad it has come to this. I too am glad someone else has complained.

Yes, I've seen this too! This group of people hang out and drink all day at the park. numerous times have I watch them treat the mangroves and the dumpsters containment area as a restroom! Very upsetting!

This one took a long time (looks like 2 days) to be acknowledge. I wish they would time stamp then entries not just a date.

Reply from Marine Patrol: I went out on July 3rd and spoke to the owner of the vessel, who is one of our local transients, who frequently moves around from place to place. He is tied to a private dock, but produced receipts showing he is paying for slip rental. The "trash" mentioned in the complaint is actually his personal possessions, which are piled up on the deck of his boat. I advised him if he did not want to draw negative attention, he should do some housecleaning and he stated he would. In short, he is there legally, but just has an ugly boat. There are no laws or ordinances being violated at this time, but I will continue to monitor the situation. This was all documented on police report #16-030572 if you need to refer to it. If you have any additional questions or need more information, let me know.

Thanks,
