(a) Areas not otherwise occupied or posted for restricted use shall be designated for open mooring for transients and other such temporary uses as the Harbormaster may order. Moorage at this facility shall be available to all members of the public. Upon departure, no vessel shall have a right to return to such moorage if it is occupied by another vessel during the period of absence.

(b) A vessel mooring alongside another vessel shall moor adjacent to a vessel of similar size.

(c) The owner or operator of a vessel, or other crewmember having the necessary capability and qualifications, shall move the vessel upon request by the Harbormaster to provide access to open mooring, to permit movement of any vessel moored in tandem, to permit better utilization of open mooring space or similar purpose. The Harbormaster may move a vessel for any reason, with or without notice to the owner or operator. [Ord. 89-02 § 2 (Att.), 1988. Code 1979 Ch. 18.14.]
