FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — When Rick Legow looks over the basin at Hollywood’s North Lake, it isn’t always the view he wants.
There are dozens of abandoned boats, some of them tethered to one another. Some have sunken. More just drift. Other boaters dump their waste overboard.
He said both North Lake and South Lake, which are on opposite ends of Hollywood Boulevard and both connect to the Intracoastal Waterway, have been “hijacked by irresponsible boaters” who are squeezing out traditional lake users.
