All Watercraft Must Be Removed Now. Thank you.

The POENB Board has spent a lot of time trying to re organize our watercraft system so that those who need a spot will have the ability to request one as part of their membership. For the convenience of all, we allow the assigned spot to be occupied for two years. Every two years, however, all craft within our membership allotment system (kayaks dinghy’s, paddleboards) must be brought home so the racks can be inspected, maintenance performed and spots re shuffled to prevent squatting. This biennial re-organization makes the system as equitable for a family who moved in four months ago one who’s been here for forty years.

2022 will be a watercraft re assign year. Spots were supposed to have been vacated by December 1. The board is making sure that owners are given every opportunity to understand the rules and remove their craft now. Shortly we will need to go in, cut locks and remove boats from the racks. As you might guess, we have things we’d rather be doing on a freezing winter weekend so please do us the courtesy managing your own property. POENB beaches belong to the community; they are not used car lots or dumping grounds. If you purchase a boat, it must be with the understanding that the only permanent storage for it is at your house.

Those who have sail craft down at the beach must also remove those. Sail craft spots are by lottery, limited in number and granted seasonally, not every two years. All sail craft, hobie or mini, must be now be brought home. We appreciate that moving watercraft is not always easy, however the logistics must be handled by the homeowner. Please reach out to friends and family for assistance.

We will continue to improve the system in 2022. Your cooperation makes it possible.

Thank you,

The POENB Board
