It started with what was then Monroe County’s Boot Key Harbor Committee CELEBRATING OUR PAST (before Marathon incorporated) and continues with Marathon’s Near Shore Waters Advisory Committee, City of Marathon Marina staff and the residents. The marina is a great operation that welcomes cruisers along with liveaboards. It has bathroom and laundry facilities, and computers for marina users to use. The harbor itself now has hundreds of mooring balls to keep some semblance of order, which was lacking in the earlier on-the-hook community. With the improvements, Boot Key Harbor is now a true community, not the outcast stepchild. But some perceptions remain, specifically, that marine law-enforcement officers go overboard when it comes to enforcing maritime laws in the harbor. It’s a complaint the boaters make every year or so following a sweep by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or the U.S. Coast Guard. The latest such complaints have festered since Thanksgiving, when those who use dinghies to get from land to their boats say they were unnecessarily stopped and boarded at nighttime. They say the stops appeared arbitrary and over the top. In a Wednesday meeting with FWC Capt. David Dipre at the marina, the latest complaints were aired and Dipre listened. But he also noted that when it comes to history, Boot Key Harbor and its residents are all better off now than in the past. “We don’t get a lot of activity in this harbor anymore. It’s not like it was 10 or 15 years ago,” he said. Photo courtesy MONROE COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY That said, we believe some of the boaters do feel harassed.
