Transiting at high tide might not be convenient for some, but the convenience of allowing liveaboards, the hurricane safety of being inland, and possible hurricane insurance discounts make it appealing for many, especially Cats due to the 30' beam allowance and the wide canal to the condo seawall.

Common sense needs to prevail. They need to make an exception to dredge just the canal. Insurance companies interested in protecting their profits with more hurricane protected slips need to get involved to dredge the canal since they have the clout. There's already a shortage of dock slips.
