ISLAND RULES

DEVIL’S ISLE is for the use and enjoyment of members and their guests. Please read these rules carefully!

• The assigned Harbormaster is in charge of docking procedures, collecting fees when hosting a visiting club, and maintaining good order. Please help make their job a pleasant one.

• Placement of boats is skippers’ choice; however, the use of the fingers by larger boats is discouraged to avoid excessive strain on the docks.

• Members and Guests should sign in on the LOG whenever they visit.

• A regular member may invite one guest boat at a charge of $25 per night. No guest boats on DI Holiday weekends.

• Guests must always be accompanied by an active member. The sponsoring member shall be solely responsible for the guest’s adherence to Island rules. Non-member groups visiting the Island must have prior approval from the Board of Directors and have paid the required fees, and be sponsored by an Island member who acts as Harbormaster during the visit.

• There is no docking charge for a member’s second boat (i.e. run-abouts, ski-boats, dinghies, PWC’s, etc.), however a member’s main cruising boat has space and location priority at the docks. On crowded weekends these second boats may have to tie up on the back of the dock.

• Pets are welcome at the Island. However, please use the walkways that run into the interior of the Island to walk them AND PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER THEM. Dogs are required to be on leashes.

• Leave room for others to move safely around the Island. Please don’t block the walks.
Safety requires that members and guests refrain from running on the docks, decks and
walkways. (This is especially important when the dinner bell rings.)

• We take off the Island whatever we arrive with and leave no garbage behind. Fire burning is only for paper and debris from cuttings. Put out all fires before leaving the Island. Do not set off fireworks or shoot flare guns. They can start fires that will burn for a LONG time!

• Swim at your own risk. Weak swimmers should wear a life jacket when swimming and stay close to the swim platform, as the current can be strong at times. Children under 10 are required to wear an approved PFD while swimming, and it is also recommended that children under 10 wear approved PFD's at all times, including while on the docks.

• Generator operating hours are from 8:00 A. M. until 10:00 P.M. unless amended by the Island Chairperson, or the Cruise Director of the club or group who has paid for the use of the Island that weekend.

• THE DISCHARGE OF UNTREATED HUMAN WASTE IS PROHIBITED! ALL MEMBER AND GUEST BOATS visiting the island must have APPROVED MARINE SANITATION DEVICES. Approved devices include, but are not limited to, marine heads with holding tanks and “porta-potties”.

• At the request of the levee property owner and with agreement of the Board of Directors of Devil’s Isle, NO MEMBER OR GUEST OF DEVIL’S ISLE MAY USE, IN ANY WAY, FOR ANY PURPOSE, THE LEVEE ACROSS THE SLOUGH TO THE EAST OF THE ISLAND.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION WITH THESE RULES. MAKE YOUR TIME AT DEVIL’S ISLE FUN AND ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE! (rev1/2009)
