: The CT Kayak club had an etiquette sheet that we produced. Two
: things that we always try to do is

: 1. not tie up launch ramps while launching. Boat owners usually are
: the ones paying the tax and registration and as kayakers we
: should try to get our acts together and launch quickly.

: 2. Fasten your spray skirt on in the water. If launching in a
: group, put in and paddle a few feet off the launch area and
: fasten your spray skirt on there and not tie up the launch area.

: Don't leave your boat in the middle of the launch area while you
: get your car, blocking boat owners from using it.

Thanks Jay. I updated my Sea Kayaking Etiquette based on your suggestions.
