I may have found a solution to the beach access problem at the EC. This might work for the rangers and the volunteers and me.
- Only class 4 and class 5 boats will be allowed beach access. This does not include Hobie AIs and TIs.
- A handicap permit can get beach access in any class.
- Beach access is only permitted after all paper work is done and you have been issued a Beach Pass. Display the pass on your dash while on the beach.
- Passes will be issued with a time limit of one hour.
- You can get help from other WaterTribers to unload your boat from the trailer.
- No access to the beach after 13:30.
- All vehicles have to be off the beach by 14:30.
- Any work on your boat or loading equipment after your one hour expires must be done from the parking lot.
- No access to the beach on launch day.
It is my hope that this procedure will eliminate the chaos while providing reasonable access to class 4 and class 5 boats.
