A cruising licence?

READING David Hymers' suggestion that CaRT should do away with a separate ‘Mooring Permit' by increasing the cost of the ‘Cruising Licence' to offset the lost revenue, I noted also that there was an email of support from John Kerley a few days later. Sounds like a good idea with support. But is it? Asks Orph Mable.

Board minutes complaint
