@@carolynbattles2489 illegally. Nice boat but poor respect for the NRA. Pin Anchoring is not allowed unless specifically stated within a commercial use authorization In accordance with regulations and the delegated authority provided in Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 1, Part 1, authorized by Title 16, United States Code, Subsection 3, the provisions of Section 1.5(a)(1) are established for: Pin anchoring: The act of anchoring vessels utilizing a device inserted into the rock either in a natural opening or one created by a person. This includes reusing existing pin anchors and/or holes. Determination: The practice of pin anchoring within the boundaries of Glen Canyon NRA is considered injuring, defacing, and disturbing to mineral, archaeological, and paleontological resources. Pinning into sandstone creates a permanent hole. As lake levels rise and fall, water rapidly dissipates carbonate minerals from the pinning hole, weakening the surrounding stone. This increases the development of geological hazards and rock falls as the sandstone fractures and flakes at an increased rate. Glen Canyon NRA has over 2,500 documented archeological and paleontological sites throughout the park. Pin anchoring can cause irreversible damage to these resources. Pins sometimes become permanently lodged in the sandstone, posing a significant safety hazard to visitors and vessels.
So Sad for the owners. Great information for those who are new to vacationing on Lake Powell!
Always point your boat into the wind during a storm under power to resist the winds when threatened and think how to get away.
Looks like my family.Love the Herb Albert music.
