(a) The Harbormaster may temporarily assign any boat to a reserved mooring space when the boat assigned to the reserved mooring space is away from the harbor area. All boats temporarily mooring in reserved mooring spaces shall always and continuously, without fail, maintain on board such crew members as are necessary to care for the boat and to move the boat immediately on order of the Harbormaster, provided however that exceptions from this requirement may be made by the Harbormaster upon the approval of an alternative method of ensuring capability to relocate the temporarily assigned boat without delay. In the event that a boat temporarily moored in a reserved mooring space cannot be moved by its crew in time to open the space for the boat assigned thereto the Harbormaster is authorized to do so at the risk and expense of the owner of the temporarily assigned boat.
(b) In order to facilitate the maximum use of boat harbor facilities, notice shall be radioed into the Harbormaster by the owner of a boat assigned to a reserved mooring space after the boat leaves the space. This notice shall specify when the Harbormaster should expect the boat to return to the boat harbor facilities. At least 30 minutes before a boat assigned to a reserved mooring space returns to the boat harbor facilities notice shall be radioed into the Harbormaster giving an estimated time of arrival.
(c) In the event that a boat assigned a reserved mooring space returns to an occupied reserved mooring space, the Harbormaster shall be contacted and the Harbormaster shall promptly cause the boat occupying the reserved mooring space to be moved.
