Dog owners and non-motor boats battle over Mission Bay
I've been a paddler for 8 years and have had a dog in my family for 3. I understand the needs of both groups. The paddling community wants a space where we can secure our equipment and safely get to the bay and ocean. The proposed location is the best spot in all of the Mission Bay Aquatic Park to house the equipment of all the clubs and it provides the best access to the bay/ocean, while being secure -- secure because Fiesta Island is closed overnight. It's unfortunate that this issue is being portrayed as a battle between paddlers and dog owners. It's not. The paddling community wants a little bit of space, the FIDO group (not all dog owners btw) does not want to give up any, not even 10%.— February 5, 2009 12:03 p.m.
