Grindstone Joe Association <br />GROUND RULES <br />Effective May 2018 <br />FOREWORD <br />These Ground Rules have been adopted by the Board of Directors, pursuant to the authority <br />granted them in the By-Laws, for the purpose of giving greater enjoyment to the greatest <br />number of the members of the Grindstone Joe Association. There may be times when a rule <br />seems to be an unnecessary restriction on an individual. It is the opinion of the Board of <br />Directors, on the other hand, that its observance will prevent infringement upon the pleasure of <br />others. <br />It is intended that these rules shall be a guide to conduct upon some but not all matters. <br />Grindstone Joe brings together a congenial group of friends, whose viewpoints, circumstances, <br />and ways of life differ in many respects. In the final analysis, the general rule must be that we <br />avoid doing the things that cause discomfort to other members. <br />BOATS <br /> <br />1.1 A "BOAT' is a Power Cruiser or Sailing Yacht, or Houseboat, or any type of Pleasure <br />Craft over twenty (20) feet in length. <br /> <br />1.2 A "DINGHY" is a Pleasure Craft under twenty (20) feet in length. <br />MEMBER'S BOAT <br /> <br />2.1 A "MEMBER'S BOAT" is: <br />A boat in which a member has a financial or other material interest, when the member or a <br />person of his immediate family is living aboard; (spouse, father, mother, brother, sister, son, <br />daughter, son-in-law or daughter-in-law); or <br />A boat owned by a non-member when a member is living aboard. <br /> <br />2.2 ONE BOAT: A member may have but one boat at Grindstone Joe's at any one time. <br />Members may have one or more dinghies provided that they do not occupy separate berthing <br />space. The small boat berthing area is intended for temporary dinghy tie-up while the member <br />is on the island. Neither boats nor dinghies are to be stored in the small boat area when the <br />member is not in residence. <br /> <br />2.3 BERTHS: The choice of an unoccupied berth shall be in the order of arrival of boats <br />and no priority or advance reservation shall be granted there for. However, as a courtesy to <br />members, smaller boats should occupy smaller berths when it is possible to do so. The right to <br />occupy a berth ceases immediately upon leaving a berth, if only for a temporary period of time, <br />and any means to block free access thereto may be removed by any member or the caretaker.
