Section 8.19:
“No person shall operate a Jet Ski, flyboard, kiteboard, parasail or similar recreational
apparatus:
• Within the boundaries of First Narrows MRA (MRA-1), Second Narrows MRA (MRA-
2) and all areas of Vancouver Harbour in between,
• In a traffic separation zone
• Within 300 metres of a vessel at anchor
• At a speed of more than five knots within 300 metres of a swimming area

Please write to navigation.review@portvancouver.com and tell them that 300m is crazy. I suggest all they need is 100m. Often these boats are sitting there moored for days or weeks doing nothing. Any given day you'll have about 20 of them to avoid.
