It all made no sense on the surface, but the real reason was that the rich folk don't want to look at kayakers anymore. The joke will soon be on them, when the town begins construction of a non-motorized only launch site about a mile away, complete with it's own parking lot. Seems the town of Branford (Of which the village of Stony Creek, where all this started, is a tiny part) doesn't mind us paddling there. Could get interesting.
