Hey there TubeDude,
Unfortunately the trend has started. King Harbor in Redondo Beach has also been closed for years and as of Feb. 1st Dana Point Harbor will be closed to kayak and float tubes during the weekends, and soon after that weekdays too. Ya, the harbor patrol/sheriffs want 100% public safety! i.e. no persons near the harbor at any time, that's NOBODY!. Won't they have a good, comfy job when all those assigned to harbor patrol have to do is chase people out the harbor! Right now it's fishing. Next, I'll bet you can't travel from inside the harbor to the outside either.
Within a few years, every sheriffs department in southern California with pick this up and have it as their goal to make the work load light, light, lighter in the end.
No problem, we'll just go somewhere else until the authorities have run out of places to bar us from going. What's happening is not really something to take lightly if you've tasted the freedom of bygone years and read '1984'.
So much for those upbeat comments, ha ha
Hope we get some good info on newer tubes.
tsurikichi,
PS According to a post on allcoast, even animal control officers think their job includes checking fisherman for fishing licenses!!!!!!!!
