I think I should have worded my two questions differently. This year will mark the start of when I began sailing 40 years ago. I've learned a lot in those 40 years. How to behave at a dock and consideration for others are some of the things. If,,, I found the dock space mostly empty, except for me or if I were assigned a slip at the far end of the dock and it was not possible for anyone to hear the generator but me, is it allowed? This assumes that the generator is as quiet as they claim it to be. If the generator is noisy, the question is moot. I hope my rephrasing the question makes it a little more understandable. Thanks.
