I am from NY so excuse my ignorance on the subject, but how can the govt close down a bay? If it is part of a water way system, wouldn't it become maritime? And therefore be controlled more under the coast guard?

Hey, at least everyone on welfare has their Obamaphone

Google it. The news is all over it. Truckers strike to get govt back to work.

In line with this, phuck the bay shutdown. Make a stand. This coming weekend, make it a point to flood biscayne bay, stiltsville, beercan island and the surrounding areas all while flying a banner stating your intent.....oh....and make sure you let fox know what's up so they can nationalize your stance.

If it were here (gulf coast, Cape Coral/Sanibel/Captiva) I would do it in a second. This spend for misery(ours) shutdown is a pile-o-shiiiiiiit
The truck drivers strike was in 2008 during the last shutdown and it didn't amount to much. All the truck drivers I know do not have the time or money for that kind of vacation

Luckily for us the two park service officers decided against kicking us out I guess or maybe they didn't feel like getting into a confrontation with the shift about over. They can come over to you once you anchor and tell, you the park is closed and you have to leave. Since it was only two boats and we are not the open fire on the cops type of people we would have left and then come back after they got off. Not sure how it would go with 100 boats out there on a busy weekend. A lot of the local cops are also boaters so I'm not sure how much support they would or wouldn't get from local PD if they needed it. If anyone is staging any protests I am in!

Think I'm going to write off my annual Lake Mead truck/boat pass fee as a loss that I'm not able to recover ...
